• On Wednesday, 31 October 2012 the SA Sport Awards Outreach Program focused on a School Sport held at Botshelo Sport Centre in Diepsloot at SunCares Sports Academy.

• The outreach brought together sports icons and young kids to facilitate mentoring and coaching and was endorsed for its strong alignment with the objectives of the School Sports Framework developed by the departments of Sport & Recreation and Basic Education.

“We are tremendously grateful for all great work undertaken by Tsogo Sun SunCares program alongside Walter Minaar and Malcolm Larsen of the Equina Rugby Club for

pioneering this initiative and providing the facilities necessary to nurture sporting development in previously disadvantaged communities, while keeping with the Minister of Sport & Recreation, Fikile Mbalula’s desire to get back to the grass roots of sports.”

A much improved performance was noted in 2012 with regard to the actual presence of all the category winners at the Sport Awards Gala Dinner. All the category winners were present or had pre-arranged representatives to receive their Awards on their behalf.

All the nominees were impeccably dressed in black suits by Carducci and their look was truly befitting of the stature of the prestigious event the Awards have grown to be.

NOMINEES FOR SPORT STARS OF THE YEAR 2012In line with the Rulebook, the Sport Star of the year was voted by the Public through an SMS line established solely for this purpose.

This competition saw seven Sport Personalities nominated by the Adjudication Panel battle it out for the title Sport Star of Year.

In the process the SMS line was also used to raise funds which were later donated to charity by the Minister as legacy of the SA Sport Awards 2012

This SMS competition was publicised both through print media and Television but with enough time, the impact could have really been much more better!

SPORT STAR OF THE YEAR 2012 Olympic gold medallist Chad le Clos was crowned sports star of the year after the 20-year old clinched the highest votes on the public vote line ahead of the other six nominees, (1) Hashim Amla, (2) Caster Semenya, (3) Oscar Pistorius, (4) Siyabonga Nomvete, (5) Vernon Philander and (6) Natalie du Toit
