The intention is to tackle social ills by involving the children in healthy sporting activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although sport was popular among the scholars, he explained that they often lacked pride in their appearance and sometimes even played in different outfits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is going to be huge for us because it will make our pupils proud to turn out for their school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ngcelwana believed this unity in sport would entice more pupils who had talent to take up a sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, they will begin to own the school and be proud of themselves and this change in mindset will make a positive contribution to the academic programme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shadrach said supporting a school close to the Distribution Centre tied in with SPAR\u2019s vision to be the number one brand in the communities it served.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s the adage that \u2018charity begins at home\u2019 and the high school is on our doorstep. We realised there was a need and that we are able to assist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Feeding off the We\u2019re for Smiles national campaign, she said SPAR EC had created \u201cforever smiles\u201d in the hearts of the KwaMagxaki children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeeing the absolute elation on their faces is an experience that cannot be described in words.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their support of the school would be ongoing, added Shadrach. Apart from remarking the netball court, the retailer will remark the soccer fields and install an outside gym facility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are committed to our values of demonstrating passion, living our family values and encouraging leadership through our relationships with our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Equally important, she said, was the opportunity to encourage a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want our future customers to focus on healthy eating and exercise but understand that the economy doesn\u2019t necessarily allow for this. Not many can afford to be a member of a gym.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Initiatives like these open the way to a better, healthier life, she explained.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">80<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/kwamagxaki-athletes-can-now-dress-to-impress\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
