What an Event Like This Costs

With multiple partners — many of whom use their own procurement processes — an exact figure is hard to pin down. But it's not cheap. Here's where the money goes.

Transport

~R200,000

Between 80 and 90 taxis and vans transport 1,100–1,300 people with disabilities and their caregivers from homesteads to the event. PwD typically pay 10× the standard taxi fare.

Catering

~R500,000

The only accessible venue in the sub-district is out of town with no nearby eateries. Taxis arrive from 6am and depart at 3pm — requiring 2,000 breakfasts, 800 race snacks, and 2,000 lunches.

T-shirts

~R200,000

2,000 branded Manguzi Gijima T-shirts are a highlight for most participants and a major branding opportunity seen in the community for years. Sponsor logos can be applied to sleeves.

All-Children's Tent & Race

~R50,000

Fancy dress costumes, adaptive games, jumping castle hire, tunnel constructions, facilitator stipends, marquees, and prizes — all designed for fully inclusive play.

Electronic timing

~R50,000

72 potential category prizes across all distances. With 1,500+ participants, professional timing with 2 time mats is essential for fair results.

Additional costs include

  • Infrastructure: chairs, tables, generators, cleaning
  • Public Liability Insurance & Safety Officer
  • Biometric registration services
  • Stadium hire (R25,000/day)
  • 12–25 live performances and MCs
  • Minimum 2 Sign Language interpreters
