Clive Thomson, Barloworld Chief Executive and Head Mistress of Dr Beyers Naude Secondary School, Linda Zabala.
Barloworld has opened a multi-purpose sports facility at Dr Beyers Naude Secondary School in Dube, Soweto – a first for the school and to the benefit over 400 learners.
The facility can be used as a basketball, volleyball, tennis or a netball court. Barloworld’s Chief Executive, Clive Thomson, who opened the facility, said the joint venture between Barloworld’s Motor Retail division’s Maponya dealerships in Soweto and the group was a showcase of how Barloworld makes a difference in the communities where it operates.
“Schools that provide afternoon sports activities are investing in our youth – and this sports facility will become a place where the learners can learn life skills, leadership, health and recreation.
“Sport is an important part of the holistic development of the education spectrum. Education is one of our primary priorities as a company as it plays a key role in helping to address the country’s socio-economic challenges. We are proud to be involved in this project,” said Thomson.
“We are humbled and grateful for this gesture, participation in sport is important because it develops a sound mind and body so it will go a long way in developing our learners and the community. The presence of principals at this event indicates that this facility won’t only be used by our learners but by the broader community as well because it takes a village to raise a child,” said Linda Zabala, Head Mistress at Dr Beyers Naude Secondary School.
