The department of Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture in Gauteng recently invaded the Sedibeng region, together with Emfuleni Local and Sedibeng District Municipalities they embarked on what they term “magnificent Friday” at Evaton Plaza.
“Our country is a sport loving nation and we would like Friday to be magnificent with people donning their sport replica. Rugby and many other sporting codes have to be available in our townships. Our aim is to divert youth from insane acts such as drugs and alcohol and help them to be fully involved in sport” said MMC Cllr. Zaza Raikane.
Numerous sporting codes were on display and revellers took some time to indulge, despite a no-show from the professional soccer teams including MEC Lebo Maile, hip-hop muso Mr. Selwyn and House music sensation Micasa gave a sterling performance.
A leading clothing company was welcomed as it opened doors at the plaza and it is understood that in the near future another major food outlet will be forthcoming. A reported R 22 million is in place to upgrade the plaza into a mall.
