In the Eastern Cape, thousands of talented young athletes with the potential to be tomorrowโs sports heroes donโt have access to proper facilities. In villages across the province, netball courts, rugby fields and athletics tracks are a rare sight.

Fast forward several years and the much-anticipated high-performance centre is little more than an abandoned field. But Sakhisizwe is not the only community thatโs been promised new or refurbished facilities costing millions, only for developers to pocket the money and fail to deliver.
