Nominations Now Open for the 20th gsport Awards

Nominations have opened for the 20th Annual gsport Awards, launched at a milestone celebration in Johannesburg after two decades of recognising and celebrating women in sport across South Africa and, since 2020, impacting Africa.

Africa Day is a celebration of unity, resilience, and identity across the continent. For gsport, it is also a moment to reflect on its journey to elevate the voices of African women in sport, voices that, for too long, have gone unheard or underrepresented.

Women in the sports industry are thriving and enjoying freedoms that were once out of reach for most, and as South Africa celebrates over three decades of democracy, women are marking this Freedom Day with gratitude.
