The Society attended to a Sports day at George. Students were shortlisted using certain criterion to limitize down to a specified number to George. TASS Committee and members availed themselves, and it was really a trimendous event in narration.

Universities that were in attendence were:

University of Fort Hare(UFH), University of Stellenbosch, University of Cape Town(UCT), Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University(NMMU).

Games which were organized were the football and netball games, other sport codes such as volleyball and cricket were not accommodated into the initiative of Thuthuka (SAICA initiative for development).

The UFH (East London & Alice campuses) had two football teams A & B where they locked horns up and down in the first match at 9hoo in George. Team A played till the finals with NMMU, where there match ended with two-goal draw. The referee referred the to the penalty shoot out; it's then UFH out-sparkled winning the hot burning competition.

The UFH demostrated that, they are indeed the 2007 Thuthuka champions even in netball. UFH was playing against NMMU, even though it seems NMMU was the weakest link, NMMU was exempted "good bye".

It was great news topped up with smiles and contentment. The gathering was really awe-inspiring and educative with speeches out flowing from the Big guns i.e. Chantyl Mulder, Sizwe Ntsaluba VSP & Kpmg official.

Wow!!!! can you imagine the 2008 Thuthuka Sports day....................I can't wait to see, to be there.
