The “previously disadvantaged” communities of South Africa, due to the injustices and inequalities of the past, have few structures in place to support and build up the youth in those areas. Many of these youth begin wandering around the communities, bunking school, getting into trouble, experimenting with crime, and some of them eventually end up on the streets. It is easy for these youth to be forgotten, in the bigger picture, and sadly enough they begin, one by one, to fall through the cracks. There young people are, however, the future for South Africa and they deserve better.
Town Two Sports Academy acknowledges this and strives to offer alternatives for the youth of Town Two Khayelitsha. Our organization hopes to work with youth and, through sports, encourage physical, emotional, social, and spiritual growth. We hope, by supporting and encouraging growth in the youth, that the “cracks” will begin to be filled, and we will be ensuring a brighter and better future for the youth of Town Two, and South African society as a whole.
