Kariega Foundation Sport Programme

The Kariega Foundation Sport Programme forms a core pillar of the Youth Development initiative, using sport as a platform to nurture physical health, personal growth, and community unity. Through soccer, netball, rugby, cricket, and tennis, over 400 youth from rural Eastern Cape communities engage in structured training three times per week.

Coaches are trained in the CoolPlay Way, integrating Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) into sports to build confidence, teamwork, discipline, and leadership. The programme promotes holistic development rather than competition alone, fostering resilience and character.

The Sport Programme creates safe, positive spaces for youth while providing pathways into education, conservation, hospitality, and tourism careers, advancing the Foundation’s philosophy of Conservation through Community.

Ubuntu Cup League

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 400 youth, 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:

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.
