Stay City Hotel & Conference Centre supports GoJozi Grannies.
The most widely played sport in South Africa, soccer, has received a welcome ‘kick in the pants’ from enthusiastic ‘granny supporters’ of the Go Jozi Programme, launched earlier this year.
The programme’s rallying cry to ‘Get Healthy, Get Active and Feel Good’ is aimed at mobilising the Johannesburg community to embrace an active, healthy lifestyle through healthy eating and active living.
Stay City Hotel and Conference Centre, part of the Berea North Improvement initiative, provided accommodation for participating grannies at the GoJozi Grannies Soccer Challenge 2015.
The programme was hosted by the Inner City Ambassadors. The NGO coordinated energetic women from Limpopo and Gauteng aged between 55 and 75 who tussled for honours at the busy South End Park Sports Centre in downtown Joburg on Saturday, 10 October 2015.
Held under the auspices of the City of Johannesburg healthy lifestyle initiative called GoJozi, the event featured performances by the popular Alex Youth Choir and free health screening for diabetes, kidney complaints, cholesterol and high blood pressure, which are often described as “silent killers”.
Some of the guests that attended included Cllr Nonceba Molwele, MMC for Health and Social Development in the City of Joburg and the 2010 FIFA World cup Legacy Trust representatives.
