Since we took the vail of this project in June, first announcing it on this platform, steemit, we have started to capture the interest of many people around the world. Our first major step is getting Natalie du Toit, not just a times Olympian and an honorary MBE from the Queen of England, but one of the most amazing, honest and brave people I have met, to join the team, but we have started making a few waves in media and in certain diplomatic circles.
Quite a number of you have bought PODS in August when we gave Steemit a chance to be first, and you have joined our Telegram, twitter and slack feeds, talking with us about this amazing movement. Yes we are from a small country at the bottom of Africa. Many of our fans may not even quite know where it is, never mind visiting. It is exactly because of our history and the many challenges faced throughout Africa, in which we have travelled and worked extensively, that we understood the need for this project.
While all the members of the team have travelled and worked internationally, it is from our history of change in the 80's and 90's that this team was forged. We know that by standing together, and keeping the moral high ground, you can challenge the power of the status quo, and that change can happen. And this is the message we are taking to the world.
From the corruption of FIFA and the world cup, to the plight of les broadly played sports, technology can make a difference and crypto tokens can bring a better distribution of wealth, giving more opportunity to take part in the massive business sport has become.
Watch for some major announcements coming. We are in talks with incredible possible ambassadors in a number of sports. We are building the media hype by talking in various social media sites and blogging on bitcointalk and being featured as a project on the Telegram Group, Coinvision.
Being based we are starting with the local media, and besides a few mentions and some community radio, we were featured on TALK702, a national talk radio show last night, where our CEO, Robert Marshall, was asked about the project and why it is such an important project. The recording will shortly be on our website.
We will be escalating the coverage with international coverage, talking more about how we will set about making the sports world more transparent and more equal for all.
Please keep on talking to us, both in our Steemit blogs and on our telegram account at https://t.me/SportsPodiumPublic
