The women will be introduced to different sporting codes that they can play. We observe that women are usually left out when it comes to playing sports.<\/p>\n<p>This will be their opportunity to also learn about some of the sports codes. We believe that women can also play all sporting codes. We long pass the time were there were sporting codes for man only, but now all sporting codes are now open to all gender,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ntiwane added that there will be a token of appreciation for those to excel in the form of trophies and medals.
