This programme began with the handing over of basketball and netball kits to 16 schools  in an event held at the Isipingo Hills Primary School earlier this year. Lee D’Eathe, SDB Area Manager said, “The SDB Team acknowledge the importance of sports, hence we have initiated a programme that will contribute towards the holistic social development of young people in the SDB.”
