WESTERN CAPE TRANSPLANT SPORTS ASSOCIATION – NEWSLETTER (OCTOBER 2016) IN THIS NEWSLETTER:

Various athletes from the Western Cape

Transplant Sports Association recently

received their Western Cape Provincial

Colours in Transplant Sports.

The colour ceremony took place on Sunday,

2nd

October 2016, at the beautiful Pearl

Valley Boma just outside of Paarl. The

Colours and Certificates were presented to

the athletes by a guest speaker Mr Andre du

Toit also known as The Big Positive Guy.

This ceremony marks a special milestone in

the Association as it has long been the

objective of the Chairperson and his

committee to achieve this. By applying to

the Western Cape Provincial Sports

Confederation and encouraging athletes to

qualify for Colours, this milestone was

achieved. Colours were awarded to athletes

that participated in the World Transplant

Games in 2015 and the South African

National Transplant Games in 2016.

Afterwards the athletes and their families

enjoyed a Bring-and-Braai and social

gathering.

The awarding of Western Cape Colours came

just a week before the 2016 National

Transplant Games that took place from 6 – 9

October in Johannesburg. It was a proud

moment to see the majority of the Western

Cape Transplant Team with their Western

Cape Colours during the 2016 National

Transplant Games.

The awarding of Provincial Colours is a proud

moment in any athletes sporting career and

serves as motivation to represent not just the

Province but also the sporting code that the

athlete compete in. The Western Cape

Transplant Sports Association would thus

want to encourage all other Transplant

Sports Association regions to follow them

and attempt to achieve Provincial Colours for

their athletes. This will not only serve as

motivation for athletes to compete at the

highest level but also serve as great publicity

for our cause, namely: “through sports and

other physical activities, promote organ

donation and transplantation”.
