Multi-Sport Festival
The Multi-Sport Festival (MSF) is an annual event organised by Sportleaders of the Mutare –Haarlem Sportleaders (MHS) Project, under the auspices of the City of Mutare through the Mutare-Haarlem Citylink charter and with the technical support of the MHS stakeholders, who are consisting Ministry of Education Sport and Culture, Sport and Recreation Commission, Mutare-Haarlem City link and different Sport Associations.
The Multi-Sport Festival is one of the biggest sporting events in Mutare which has been running for the past 4 years, that brings together clubs and individuals from all over Zimbabwe to compete in eleven sport disciplines. This festive is earmarked to be held on the 5th and 6th August 2006; hence Sakubva high density will be the games village though hockey and rugby will be taking place at Mutare Sports Club in Town.
This year we have decided to include Athletics for the Physically and Mentally Challenged/Impaired people to enhance the concept of inclusive festival that caters for both the physically impaired and abled people. However, also one of the important aspects will be the youths from the City of Haarlem, they will come to participate in some of the sports.
Social development, HIV and AIDS serving organisations such as Youth Alive Zimbabwe (YAZ), City of Mutare – Teen HIV Prevention Programme, Zimbabwe National Family Planning Council (ZNFPC), Population International Service (PSI), and NewStart Centre will be called upon to utilise and take advantage of a conducive environment created by sport on that festive day.
The whole essence is to promote integration, interaction and bringing people together through sports. This proposal serves two purposes, which are for searching financial assistance and using it as guide for the operations of this big magnitude event.
This event is already recognized at national level. Most of the teams and clubs from all corners of Zimbabwe will expect that this event takes place annually and that they participate in it as well. We (Sportleaders) feel proud to put our project on the map of the country through this event. We also strive to add more recipes on how events are managed in more professional manner, as well as to portray an idea that young sport people are capable of managing big sport events.
Multi Sport Festival also improves our networks and partnership with different sport boards such as sport associations and social development organizations, NGOs and Ministry of Education, sport and culture. Not forgetting our motherboard the City of Mutare.
