Two days of demonstrations and conversations highlighted how sport can create opportunities for people with disabilities.
Johannesburg, South Africa (14 August 2026) – The Disability Career Expo at the Vodacom Dome in Midrand has come to an end, with Blind Cricket South Africa (BCSA) using the two-day event to showcase the sport while opening conversations around inclusion, opportunity and accessibility.
One of the biggest highlights was seeing learners from different schools get involved in blind cricket demonstrations. Their excitement and curiosity turned the demonstrations into more than just a sporting showcase; it was an opportunity for young people to experience how sport can be adapted to include people with visual impairments.
Throughout the expo, BCSA introduced visitors to blind cricket and highlighted the opportunities the sport can create for people with disabilities, from participation and competition to developing skills, confidence and a sense of community.
The organisation also had the chance to engage with members of the public, learners and other visitors, answering questions and sharing more about the players, the sport and its wider mission of promoting equal opportunities.
For BCSA, the expo was ultimately about challenging perceptions and reinforcing an important message: disability should never be mistaken for inability.
The organisation thanked the event organisers, participating schools, learners, visitors and everyone who stopped by its stand and took part in the activities.
And perhaps the perfect way to sum up the experience is BCSA’s own words:
“Blindness doesn’t stop the game, it changes the way we play it.”
