In light of the Rugby World Cup that started this weekend (goooo Bokke!... No?) and Heritage Day tomorrow, we've decided to explore Mandela's legacy of the power of sport to break barriers. Let us know how you think sport can be used to bring about change and let us know how individuals and organisations can work together to use sport to empower! 

"It has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people. In a way that little else does. It speaks to youth i a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments. In breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination. The heroes are standing with me, are examples of this power. They are valiant, not only in the playing field but also in the community. Both local and international. They are champions and they deserve the world's recognition." - Nelson Mandela
