The KwaZulu-Natal Provincial team has successfully defended the National Indigenous Games title.  The championships, involving provinces, were hosted by Gauteng in Tshwane recently (23-24 March 2012).
 

Incidentally, KwaZulu-Natal is also the current champions of the SA Games, having defended the title last year. The Acting Head of the Department of Sport and Recreation, Ms Zinhle Buthelezi, said these achievements bear testimony to the endeavors that the province was putting on sports development at grass root level. These National Indigenous games were first staged in 2003, and since then they have been held every year in different provinces.  In the past four years KZN has always been in the top three and became the champions for the first time in 2010.

The following games were played on a competitive basis:  Induku, Incuva, Dibeke, Amagende, Jukskei, Khokho, Umlabalaba, Drie stokkies and Ingqathu.

Improving the health profile of the public service workers is one of the priorities of the government of KwaZulu-Natal.

In a bid to encourage public service workers to engage in sporting activities so as to avoid contracting lifestyle diseases, KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Arts, Culture, Sport and Recreation, Ntombikayise Sibhidla-Saphetha hosted the Work and Play Festival for the ILembe District, at Mandeni Sports grounds on Friday 24 February 2012.

The event saw all provincial government departments and four local municipalities under Ilembe District participating in five sporting codes. The 500-strong workers participated in Netball, Football, Athletics, Aerobics and the tug of war.

Various scientific studies indicate that the high rate of absenteeism in the workplace in South Africa is caused by lifestyle diseases and as a result, the country loses millions of rands which could otherwise be used for service delivery.
