Lesedi Local Municipality, Bringing Young Athletes Together Through Sports

Lesedi Local Municipality hosted the 2026 O.R. Tambo Soncini Social Cohesion Games on 26 September 2026, bringing together young athletes from across Emfuleni, Midvaal and Lesedi Local Municipalities.
The O.R. Tambo Soncini Social Cohesion Games are a flagship programme of the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, using sport as a powerful vehicle to promote social cohesion, youth development, community participation and the identification of emerging sporting talent.
The programme was established following a 2016 Memorandum of Understanding between the Gauteng Provincial Government and the Emilia-Romagna Region of Italy and was officially launched in 2017 as part of the O.R. Tambo Centenary celebrations. The initiative has since grown into an important platform for young people to participate in sport while building relationships across communities and cultures.
The Games are aimed at young people between the ages of 14 and 19 years and are implemented in partnership with municipalities, sporting bodies, federations and school sport structures. The programme follows a phased approach, beginning with local and municipal competitions and progressing to district and provincial levels. It also includes an international exchange component linked to the Tricolour Games in Reggio Emilia, Italy, further strengthening the relationship between Gauteng and the Emilia-Romagna Region.

The 2026 OR TAMBO GAMES hosted in provided a vibrant platform for young athletes to compete in soccer, netball, boxing and basketball. Beyond the sporting competition, the Games created an opportunity for young people from different communities to interact, build friendships, demonstrate discipline and teamwork, and celebrate the unifying power of sport.
For Lesedi Local Municipality, hosting the Games underscores the Municipality’s commitment to creating opportunities for young people and supporting initiatives that contribute to community development, social inclusion and a stronger sense of belonging.
The successful teams and athletes from the district competition will progress to the next level of the O.R. Tambo Soncini Social Cohesion Games, where they will represent Sedibeng District and continue their journey in the competition.
Through initiatives such as the O.R. Tambo Soncini Social Cohesion Games, sport continues to play an important role in developing young talent, creating opportunities for youth and strengthening social cohesion across communities in Gauteng.
