TEAM LIMPOPO IS READY AND ON THEIR WAY TO VICTORY AND FUN

By Adele van der Linde

• The Limpopo squad of senior citizens are on their way to take part in the National Active Ageing Programme happening in Rustenburg, North West.
• They are representing the five districts of Limpopo: Capricorn, Mopani, Sekhukhune, Waterberg and Vhembe.
• The acting head of the provincial Department of Social Development Dr Martin Sehlapelo and the MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture Funani Jerry Maseko were at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane to see the team off.

Limpopo’s golden boys and girls departed Polokwane this afternoon, 17 February 2025, to join the Active Ageing Programme in Rustenburg.

Converging at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane from the five districts of the Limpopo Province, Capricorn, Mopani, Sekhukhune, Waterberg and Vhembe, the team received their provincial attire and a fond farewell from the acting head of the provincial Department of Social Development Dr Martin Sehlapelo and the MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture Funani Jerry Maseko.

MEC Maseko reiterated the provincial government’s support of the Active Ageing programme and their commitment to upholding the health, longevity and dignity of older persons.

Team Limpopo is striving to bag the number one spot in the Golden Games on 19 and 20 February, as they have done before. The team is participating in all the sporting codes in the games section of the programme.

Tomorrow, 18 February, will see Limpopo’s golden oldies engage in dialogues with their counterparts from other provinces on topics that affect senior citizens directly.
