Launched on 1 August 2006, gsport aims to raise the profile of women’s sport in South Africa to encourage Corporate South Africa to back our women athletes.
The online-based initiative publishes regular news on women’s sport at gsport.co.za and activates extensively across social media via its @gsport4girls profiles on twitter and facebook.
The highlight o the intiative is the yearly gsport Awards, the country’s only women’s sports awards, which recognises individuals who are contributing to the growth of South African women’s sport.
Melissa Reddy, former gsport Woman in Media winner: “Eight years in, eight years strong! Happy Birthday gsport, thanks for your support and promotion of women in sport. You are not just making a change, you ARE the change. Here’s to many more happy, inspiring, encouraging returns!”
