Media invite to Women in Sports Colloquium
28 August 2008
As part of 2008 women's celebration, Sport and Recreation South Africa will host Women in Sports Colloquium. As the department responsible for sport and recreation, it becomes paramount that we celebrate this month through sport -related interactions.
The conference, the first of its kind, intends to create an opportunity for women to interact on various topics relating to sport and to encourage active participation of women and girls at all levels including administration and governance. Women in Sports Colloquium are supported by the Director-General of Sport and Recreation South Africa, Xoliswa Sibeko, making her the appropriate candidate to present an introduction at the conference. Members of the media are invited to cover the event.
Details of the event are as follows:
Date: 29 to 30 August 2008
Time: 09h00
Venue: Birchwood Hotel, Boksburg
The two day programme will consist of the opening and plenary sessions which will be open to the media, while the break-away sessions will be reserved for officials.
