Glug-Glug Giving
Community Sponsorship of Youth Sport
#Little Bits Make A Lot
Glug-Glug Giving is a Kenton on Sea community initiative to give all members of our barefoot capital the opportunity to participate in the sponsorship of the Ubuntu Cup Sports League and keep our youth from Ekuphumleni, Marselle, Klipfontein and Alexandria engaged in positive mentorship and playing sport – with all its benefits!
The Kariega Foundation in partnership with Volo, create Glug-Glug Giving opportunities all through the year for Kenton on Sea businesses and residents to participate in community giving.
Our efforts culminate in Glug-Glug Giving Day on 16 December when we bring the good vibes and give a final push to achieve our target to raise the funds to sponsor 60 Ubuntu Cup teams with over 700 players across netball, soccer and tennis.
Glug-Glug Giving is about lots of little bits adding up to a lot – creating a shared sense of community love and accomplishment because we have done it together!
Ubuntu Cup Sporting Heroes
The Ubuntu Cup is the competitive extension of the Kariega Foundation Sport Programme, embodying the spirit of ubuntu—“I am because we are.” It offers structured soccer and netball leagues for over 700 youth (and growing), providing access to organised sport, proper coaching, and opportunities for personal and athletic growth.
Centred on sportsmanship and values-based participation, the league builds unity, respect, and character within local communities. Its success is reflected in milestones such as the selection of players to regional and international tournaments.
The Ubuntu League not only nurtures sporting talent but also strengthens social cohesion, pride, and aspiration among the youth—demonstrating the transformative power of sport in community development.
Shining Highlights from the 2025 season:
- Eleven boys from our Ubuntu League were selected and played in the Dana Cup Youth Tournament in Denmark (July 2025).
- Two netball players were selected for the 2025 Sarah Baartman U19 team competing at the Telkom Junior Nationals in Cape Town, with Noma, our Community Manager and Head of Netball, appointed as their coach.
- Two netball players earned national colours and four players received district colours.
- One netball players was selected as the scorer for the Sarah Baartman U23 team in KwaZulu-Natal
- Olwethu Sizani (YDP) was selected for the men’s netball team and will manage the senior ladies’ side for 2025.
- All Ubuntu League players attended a coaching clinic, enhancing their technical and tactical skills, while the community’s strong support fostered unity and pride throughout the season.
A Message from our Partners
It is a real privilege for Volo and Kenton Garage to partner with the incredible and highly impactful Kariega Foundation. Their passion and dedication to community-led projects are inspirational and together we hope to create opportunities and do our bit to empower our local youth through this meaningful sports initiative. Our dream is that Glug Glug Giving Day becomes an annual “must do” event to kick start the Summer holidays in Kenton. - The Volo Family
