Maape says the North West has now produced four Comrades winners and has the potential to produce many more great athletes.
“As you know, Potchefstroom is becoming the centre of sports. You know whether you talk about cricket, whether you talk about rugby, whether you talk about any other sports. That is why we think that the North West can be the sports mecca of South Africa. Yes, we are not doing well in terms of soccer, but we are also looking at that and ensure that we promote that because that is the most popular sports among Africans in the Province.” adds Maape.
“We’re really proud of ntate Tete Dijana and all other athletes who represented Mahikeng in the province at the Comrades Marathon. They have really inspired hope in our people and it charges us as the local municipality as well as government to work for people to give service delivery to our people. It says that we as the municipality, we must give service delivery to our people.
