The delegates were joined by former national team captain and #BetwayCares Skills Hub ambassador, Simphiwe Dludlu throughout the Betway sponsored course. Dludlu, who addressed the participants on the importance of having trained administrators in communities, encouraged the ladies to make use of the knowledge gained from the #BetwayCares Skills Hub.

“It is exciting to see passionate administrators from different backgrounds sharing their insight and most importantly, finding solutions to the challenges faced in community sport. I would like to encourage the ladies to make use of the skills and knowledge acquired over the last three days, as this is something that community sport has been in need of for years.”

“Thanks to the #BetwayCares Skills Hub, we are able to pinpoint the root cause of the challenges faced by our communities while also finding tangible solutions,” said the former Banyana Banyana star.

Betway will soon announce its next #BetwayCares Skills Hub workshop as it continues on its long-standing commitment to making an impact in sporting communities across the country.
