On August 12, 2025, elderly men and women showcased their strength and vitality during their fitness games at Mphuthumi Mafumbatha Stadium in Mbizana.
This event was part of a collaborative effort between the Department of Social Development, the local Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Municipality, and the Department of Sports, aimed at encouraging adults aged 60 and above to stay physically active and maintain good health.
One of the main objectives was to foster stronger connections between the community and available services in their local areas, including within various wards under the Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Municipality.
Mr. Lubabalo Makhedama, representative of the Department of Social Development, highlighted the importance of the Golden Games, emphasizing that regular physical activity is crucial in maintaining the health of older individuals.
The Mayor, Cllr. T.D. Mafumbatha, thanked everyone in attendance, stating, “This event shows how we prioritize the health and well-being of our citizens, especially our elderly, who have contributed significantly to the building of our community. We hope that these games will continue to foster unity, health, and respect within our society.”
MaDlamini, one of the elderly women who participated, expressed her joy, saying, “We are here at the Stadium and feeling very happy, almost like children again. The government has helped us so much. Our government is truly like a mother to us.”
