Tshilwavhusiku Razwimisani Special School was crowned the champion of the Bruzar Cricket Tournament at Ravele last Friday.

An amount of R14 500 was made available by the Bruzar Group to sponsor the activities of the day.

During the event, the councillor for sports at the Makhado Municipality, Cllr Richardt Thandavhathu, said that the government realised the problems and challenges facing people living with intellectual disabilities. He said that children with disabilities must no longer be hidden, but they must be given the opportunity to develop their potential.

Mr Tshifhiwa Madula, the manager of Bruzar, said that he was impressed by the manner in which the competition was run. He indicated that they would continue to sponsor the competition in the coming years. The sponsorship is in appreciation for the unwavering support which they are getting from the local communities, he said.
