Upon arriving at the sundowns training stadium, it was evident that the vibe there was different to many other football clubs. Greeted by a warm smile, it felt more like home and less like a male dominated field. Located in the east of Johannesburg at the Mamelodi Sundowns training grounds and offices, I met with 28 year-old Liberian national team captain and Mamelodi Sundowns Left wing Anthony Laffor.
Basketball, soccer, and rugby are very physical sports, requiring players’ strength and power. Men have dominated these games for many years. However, women’s participation is growing and now you can find many playing professionally. Women have become just as athletic, aggressive and competitive as men. So why, once women get onto the field, court or pool, do we think about and treat them in a certain way that often involves questioning their femininity and sexuality? And why are there more opportunities for men?
Determined to retain their hard-earned trophy, last year's national champions from Khayelitsha are ready to take on all-comers, as learners across South Africa prepare for the 2013 KIA Street Soccer League kicking off in May.

Soccer is one of the biggest sports in South Africa and the most supported one as well, and as it seems, has also become an international sport of choice. Looking back, there have been two teams that have always caused a stir in the lives of soccer fans especially in the Gauteng region of South Africa: Kaizer chiefs and Orlando Pirates. Orlando Pirates have made headlines again in international news as they makes their way to the Collated African League which is set to start on the weekend of the 19-20th July 2013 in Cairo, Egypt.
The Vaal University of Technology scooped both men’s and women’s trophies this past weekend at the Ashraf Lodewyk memorial basketball tournament, hosted at the University of Witwatersrand (Wits). When the final whistle blew, the packed benches lined with excited spectators erupted in cheers as the VUT men’s team beat UJ Alumni 83-71. The women’s VUT team also took gold earlier that day, outplaying the Soweto Raptors (66-50).
When we think about exercises for losing weight, most of the time we think about ones that involve intensive cardio training (such as running and aerobics) where we sweat profusely and our muscles ache after one session. These are not the only options for getting fit. Often enough one of the fastest ways to lose weight and become fit is through swimming! Yes, swimming!
The first edition of the African Youth Athletics Championship was held in Nigeria this year in the city of Warri in Delta State stadium from the 28th to the 31st of March.
