Through sustained support for local sporting platforms such as the SA Cup, government will continue to recognise sport as a catalyst for development, nation-building, healthy lifestyles, and economic participation. Events of this nature will also contribute positively towards tourism, local business activity, and community morale, while simultaneously creating a platform for young players to showcase their talent on a national stage.
