Through promoting the
above-mentioned games, the MSSA has seen a marked improvement in the way
in which the players see themselves. By having awarded National
Colours, we have taken a positive step in enabling the human
potential of South Africans.
In 2002 we had the pleasure to
witness David Hlophe receive the President's Award (Silver Class)
from The South African President, Mr Thabo Mbeki, at the President's
residence in Cape Town.
Through our policy of starting
clubs at schools and universities, the MSSA has been able to assist financially disadvantaged players to
study further. There is no doubt whatsoever that the mind-sports that
we promote encourage a culture of learning among our players.
The culture of learning is borne
out by the fact that 92% of all our players who are scholars intend
to attend a tertiary level education institution, and that 89% of our
players who have matriculated since 1994 have enrolled at such type
of educational institution.
It goes without saying that Mind
Sports South Africa aims at becoming demographically representative.
