Johannesburg: St Martin\u2019s School celebrated Youth Day 2023 and former educator Oliver Tambo\u2019s legacy at the school with a sports festival that comprised twenty-four teams from schools across the city, across two days (15\/16 June 2023)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme of the event was to illustrate the unifying power of sport, particularly amongst young South Africans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St Martin\u2019s Acting  School Principal Warren Venter said: \u201cThis festival is important in terms of teaching our kids how to be citizens of the country, learning things like conflict management, dealing with other people, important qualities. Sport has the potential to unify a nation and bring people together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venter added: \u201cYou learn how to deal with other people. And being a human is dealing with other people. Sport is the breeding ground of learning about this and learning to be who you are as a person.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

St Martin\u2019s School also celebrated the legacy of one of its most prominent former educators, Oliver Tambo, who noted: \u201cThe children of any nation are its future. A country, a movement, a person that does not value its youth and children does not deserve it.\u201d The school continues to take his lead and embrace Tambo\u2019s legacy and wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
