Sport & Recreation
The Jozi My Jozi sport portfolio is here to flip the script on who gets world‑class facilities in this city. We’re turning forgotten corners into hardcore home grounds -from Field of Dreams to Maharishi Park - so inner‑city kids aren’t dodging cars to play sport. Our mission is simple and a little unruly: use balls, boots and floodlights to build confident, fearless, purpose‑driven young people and prove that Jozi’s greatest trophies are its kids, not its skylines.
Using sport to reimagine Jozi, one field and court at a time
We design grassroots sporting and wellness programmes that get communities moving, create safe spaces where young people belong, build confidence and grit through action, and open doors to growth in sport and far beyond.
At the heart of the Jozi My Jozi sport workstream is a stubborn commitment to youth development, community engagement, wellness for body and mind, and opportunity creation – we connect young people to pathways they didn’t know existed.
Why it matters
In a city as vibrant and diverse as Jozi, sport has the power to bridge gaps, inspire hope and create real opportunities - turning fields, courts and open spaces into platforms for growth, connection and change.
