Once these countries are up and running their future with FIG will be more secure. Jerry Masia, President of the South African Gymnastics Federation and Valereis Geldenhuys, President of the NGF, have taken it upon us to ensure this development. This project will be achieved in one year only, due to the help of two beautiful young world gymnasts, Gregory Alcan and Xavier Julien, who a part the National development, they also did mass school development and reached more than 600 gymnasts. All the community would like to applause their dedication and their endeavour, to develop the youth at very little cost especially in Africa.
