The Radio 786 outside broadcast team joined forces with the South African National Zakah Fund (SANZAF) at the Arturf Padel Arena in Paarden Eiland this weekend, bringing excitement both on-air and on the court in support of education.
The event brought together padel enthusiasts, community members, SANZAF leadership and bursary beneficiaries for a day of sport, connection and community engagement, with education at the heart of the initiative.
The atmosphere was electric as players took to the courts, while the Radio 786 outside broadcast team brought the excitement of the tournament to listeners, capturing the energy of the day and engaging with those in attendance.
Beyond the competition, the event provided an opportunity to highlight the impact of SANZAF’s educational initiatives and the importance of creating access to learning opportunities for young people. The presence of bursary beneficiaries also offered an opportunity to reflect on how educational support can make a meaningful difference in the lives of learners and their future prospects.
Every game played contributed towards supporting learners’ education, reinforcing the message that sport can be used as a platform to bring people together for a greater cause.
Through its partnership with SANZAF, Radio 786 helped amplify the initiative’s message, demonstrating the important role that community organisations and individuals can play in supporting education and building stronger communities.
The tournament was more than just a day of padel; it was a celebration of community spirit, shared purpose and the belief that investing in education helps create opportunities for future generations.
