“SafeSport isn’t just about processes and systems - it’s about the human being.” 💬

In Part 2 of our conversation with UCT Vice Chancellor Prof. Mosa Moshabela, A/Prof. David Maralack explores how a research-led institution like UCT can shape safe sport through evidence, education and policy. UCT’s role goes beyond the classroom - translating research into real, meaningful change for athletes everywhere. 🔬🌍

“Sport must be safe - physically, psychologically, emotionally, socially and economically.” 💬

During Safe Sport 2026, UCT Vice Chancellor Prof. Mosa Moshabela sat down with A/Prof. David Maralack to share what safe sport truly means for UCT and for sport in South Africa and beyond. From holistic student development to celebrating excellence across all sporting codes - UCT’s commitment goes far deeper than the podium. 🎓🏅

Part 2 coming soon.

Three days. Countless conversations. One shared mission. 🤝🌍

Safe Sport 2026 at UCT has come to a close and what an honour it has been to host the global safe sport community right here in Cape Town. From the opening welcome to the final session, the energy, knowledge and commitment in every room reminded us why this work matters.

Safe sport is not built by one organisation or one country alone. It is built collectively. And this week, the world showed up to build it together. 💛
