Cape Town, 27 August 2026: Liberty Promenade has announced the winners of its “Power of Sport” campaign, a Mandela Month initiative celebrating local organisations that use sport as a powerful tool to uplift communities, develop young talent, and create positive social change. The campaign invited shoppers to vote for the organisation they believed was making the greatest impact through sport, and over 1,700 people voted.
Recognising Community Champions
Following weeks of voting, Red Rovers Football Club (FC) was crowned the overall winner of The Power of Sport campaign. The club was recognised for its unwavering commitment to developing young people through football, creating opportunities for growth, teamwork, discipline, and community pride.
As the overall winner, Red Rovers FC received R20 000 to support and grow its programmes, enabling the club to continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people in Mitchells Plain.
Runner-up Tafulzucht was also recognised for its dedication to empowering young people through sport and received R5 000 to assist in continuing its valuable work within the community.
A Campaign Driven by the Community
The Promenade Power of Sport campaign showcased 13 inspiring local organisations, each demonstrating how sport can transform lives and strengthen communities. Throughout the campaign, shoppers had the opportunity to meet many of the finalists during in-centre activations, learn about their programmes, and cast their votes for the organisation they believed deserved to win.
The initiative not only celebrated the important role these organisations play but also encouraged the wider community to recognise and support the positive impact being made through sport every day.
Liberty Promenade extends its sincere thanks to every shopper who participated by voting and supporting the campaign. The overwhelming response affirms the incredible power of sport to inspire hope, develop future leaders, and bring communities together.
