Seven years strong with Toyota South Africa! Since becoming title sponsor in 2019, Toyota has helped make the SASAPD Nationals a true highlight of the para sport calendar. Beyond the competition, Toyota’s donation of Quantum buses has opened doors for learners through the gift of mobility. 🚗Toyota, thank you for helping drive dreams forward. Here’s to many more years together!

The Kwenejejani Trophy was awarded at the 2026 Toyota SASAPD Nationals to Muya Koloko, our national goalball convenor. Under Muya’s leadership, goalball has flourished. From launching online training for officials, to creating a coaches' course with Goalball UK, and uniting provinces with a shared vision.

Goalball in South Africa is stronger than ever, thanks to Muya.👏

As this autumn training series comes to an end, our coaches remind every para athlete: the injury you prevent is the session you never lose. Cool down, know the difference between discomfort and pain, check your equipment, and keep communicating with your coach. Stay healthy, stay strong, and keep showing up for the season ahead.
