Real Talk: South African Athletes Need Our Support

Loading player...
In this episode, we dive into the incredible power of sport to change lives and unite communities. Join us as we chat with Mike Sharman, founder of Retroviral and a passionate advocate for positive change in South Africa. Mike discusses the urgent need to support our athletes, especially those competing in the Olympics and Paralympics, and sheds light on the disparities faced by lesser-known "Cinderella Sports."

Mike passionately calls for more investment in the right areas, ensuring that athletes, rather than officials, receive the recognition and resources they deserve. He emphasises the importance of backing our sportsmen and women, not just financially but through our encouragement and presence.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about how we can rally behind our athletes and help them achieve their dreams, while also fostering a stronger sense of community and national pride. Let's unite for our athletes and ensure that no sport, and no athlete, is left behind.
