Sport Quotas

Good day everyone

I would like to post the following, after the big discussion in the news regarding Transformation in Sport.

Re: TRANSFORMATION progress Western Cape Schools chess:

The Western Cape Top Schools TEAM (primary and high schools) that are going to the SA's in Pretoria in December of this year, consists of 66,6% brown/black players & 33,3% white players. Team management in the same ratio! Some teams consist of BOTH colour!

ALL other sport could use the "UNFORCED CHESS ROUTE" to transformation with tremendous success!  Each learner / administrator / educator has GOD-created POTENTIAL.  HOW is this potential unlocked?
(1) Taking schools chess TO a COMMUNITY
(2) Creating EQUAL OPPERTUNITIES on a MULTI-LEVEL process approach (district and regionals)
(3) PROPER MANAGING the process
(4) DEVELOPING / EMPOWERING and TRAINING passionate VISION, MISSION & GOAL driven administrators / educators.

Here's to taking the "unforced chess route."
