The 11th annual Gauteng Sports Awards were held on February 18, 2023, at the Soshanguve Campus of Tshwane University of Technology (TUT). A night filled with glitz and glamour as people from all around the province gathered to celebrate and support the winning nominees.

A lot of the guests really came to show up and show off their beautifully put together garments for the black carpet. The atmosphere was so full of frenzy as we awaited to see the victors of every category. What is an award ceremony without a little razzle-dazzle with entertainment. With Pabi Cooper, Focalistic and Dr Malinga with one of the biggest performances that night. An established dance crew also took center stage to keep the crowd moving.

With this year being the year of women in sports, it comes as no surprise that they were the ones that dominated the bulk of the victories that night, including the lifetime achievement award.

The women that came to the stand as victorious were Irma Reyneke (athletics)won Coach of the Year, Michelle Joubert (hockey),

Michelle Joubert was named Technical Official of the Year and Nelly ‘MaNellys’ Kubayi was crowned Sport Fan of the Year, while Retha Ingenbleek won for Online Virtual Sport & Recreation Programme of the Year in athletics.

We also had Primedia’s Palesa Manaleng was named Sport Journalist of the Year, Zalika Methula won Most Promising Athlete of the Year for diving, wheelchair basketball’s Michelle Mmasefako Mona was awarded Sportswoman of the Year with a Disability and Olympic swimming champion Lara van Niekerk was crowned Sportswoman of the Year.

With one of the biggest achievements that night being, Shihan Shabnum Mia’s lifetime achievement award for her stellar contribution in the sport fraternity in Martial Arts.

Other major winners of the night included Titans Deaf Cricket Team for Sport Team of the Year with a Disability, Aquatics Gauteng winning Federation of the Year, Tshwane FM announced as Community Media of the Year and the night’s youngest award recipient was Caleb Levi Levitan, winning Amayanga Yanga Young Athlete of the Year.

Furthermore, Fireballs Netball, Titans Cricked (4 Day League) and the Mamelodi Sundowns males and ladies’ teams were recognized as Sport Teams of the Year, receiving the acknowledgment for winning their leagues in the 2021/2022 season.

The Gauteng Sports Awards’ intent is to reward the province’s sports stars for their efforts in keeping the passion of sport alive. Their aim is to recognize and honour individuals and teams who have excelled both on and off field. We got to see new faces coming on to the scene as nominees. Maybe this time around they will bag a few wins. We will have to await to see, who will become victorious this year.
