‘The Power of Sport’ Winners Recognised for Community Impact
Red Rovers FC Wins Liberty Promenade’s Power of Sport Campaign
Cape Town, 27 August 2026: Liberty Promenade has revealed the winners of its “Power of Sport” campaign, launched as part of Mandela Month to recognise local organisations using sport to support their communities, nurture young talent and drive positive change. More than 1,700 shoppers took part in the public vote to choose the organisation they felt was making the biggest difference.
Recognising Community Champions
Following weeks of voting, Red Rovers Football Club (FC) was crowned the overall winner of The Power of Sport campaign. The club was recognised for its commitment to developing young people through football, offering them opportunities to grow while building teamwork, discipline and community pride.
As the overall winner, Red Rovers FC received R20 000 to support and grow its programmes, enabling the club to continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people in Mitchells Plain.
Runner-up Tafulzucht was also recognised for its dedication to empowering young people through sport and received R5 000 to continue its valuable work within the community.
A Campaign Driven by the Community
The Promenade Power of Sport campaign showcased 13 inspiring local organisations, each demonstrating how sport can transform lives and strengthen communities. Throughout the campaign, shoppers had the opportunity to meet many of the finalists during in-centre activations, learn about their programmes, and cast their votes for the organisation they believed deserved to win.
The initiative not only celebrated the important role these organisations play but also encouraged the wider community to recognise and support the positive impact being made through sport every day.
Liberty Promenade extends its sincere thanks to every shopper who participated by voting and supporting the campaign. The overwhelming response affirms the incredible power of sport to inspire hope, develop future leaders, and bring communities together.
