Transnet is continuing to use sport as one of the key instruments that can help extricate South Africa’s disadvantaged children from the yoke of poverty. Through its four focus areas, the Transnet Foundation’s Sport Portfolio every year exposes more than 26 000 children in the country’s rural communities to a myriad of opportunities that various sporting codes present.
