The Langeberg Municipality<\/a> officially handed over the court at the Zolani <\/a>Sports Grounds on Tuesday 26 August, marking an important milestone in expanding sporting opportunities for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents of Zolani near Ashton, are eager to get active on the brand new multi-purpose sports court that was recently completed.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court currently accommodates netball and futsal (football on a smaller field with fewer players), with the potential to add other sports codes in the future, making it a flexible space for the community. The project started in May this year. The municipality said it is committed to improving community sports infrastructure in the area. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, rugby and soccer combination goalposts were installed the previous week as part of equipment purchased during the previous financial year. This offers a versatile solution for training and matches in limited space. This upgrade benefits schools and the community, complementing the multi-purpose court and encouraging a variety of sporting activities. The construction of the new multipurpose court, valued at R1\u2009010 \u2009000, was undertaken by the contractor Perfect Bounce. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This multi-purpose court is a significant step for our youth and the wider community. It now accommodates netball and futsal, and with future additions, even more sports will be possible. It gives children and young people real choices to explore what they enjoy, keeping them active, engaged, and focused on positive activities. Facilities like this also help address social challenges by providing a safe environment for recreation and skill development,” said Andisiwe Ndongeni, councillor for Ward 10. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillor Danny September added, “Sport is not just a game; it is a powerful instrument that connects people, builds health, and develops discipline and leadership among our youth. This court will provide a quality space for training, competing, and enjoying sport, and offer a facility with the capacity for the youth to train and compete.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
