gsport, Africa’s longest-running women’s sport recognition platform, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with G100: Mission Million, a global collective of women leaders committed to gender equity through G100 sports wing.
This collaboration comes as gsport prepares to celebrate the 20th edition of its annual gsport Awards, a milestone marking nearly two decades of recognising and uplifting women in sport across the continent.
Founded by South African cricket commentator Kass Naidoo in 2006, gsport has expanded from a national initiative to a global movement, including the gsport Newsroom, the gsport Hall of Fame, and its growing outreaches in Africa, India, and the Caribbean.
Under the partnership, G100 will have a visible presence at key gsport events throughout the 2025 Awards weekend, including the gsport Hall of Fame Luncheon and the main Awards ceremony in Johannesburg.
The collaboration also provides an opportunity for G100’s global advisory members and country chairs to convene, strengthening international networks and advancing a shared mission of empowerment through sport.
Ms Mapulane Phohleli, Global Chair of G100’s Sports Empowerment & Championships Wing, said: “gsport embodies the spirit of solidarity and shared purpose that G100 stands for.”
“Together, we are committed to elevating the voices and achievements of women in sport globally, creating pathways for greater inclusion, recognition, and opportunity.”

“Recognition is the first step to transformation, and with G100 by our side, the impact will be far-reaching.”
gsport Founder, Kass Naidoo
