Excitement is building as the countdown begins for the 2026 Toyota SA SASAPD National Championships Opening Ceremony, set to take place in the beautiful Cape Winelands alongside the Winelands International Para Athletics Competition.
With just days to go, athletes from across the country are preparing to step onto a stage that represents more than just competition — it represents dedication, resilience, and the courage to show up.
Nerves mean you care.
Pressure means you’re close.
Breathe. Focus. Trust yourself.
You belong here.
These powerful words remind us that every athlete competing has already overcome challenges, pushed boundaries, and earned their place. This moment is not just about performance — it’s about believing in your journey and embracing the opportunity to shine.
At the Mbasa Qilingele Foundation, we celebrate moments like these. They reflect the heart of what we stand for — empowering youth, with and without disabilities, to rise with confidence, pursue excellence, and take their place in every space they deserve.
As the championships approach, we stand behind every athlete stepping forward with courage and determination.
