Members of the African National Congress in KwaZulu Natal took to Curries Fountain sportsfield on Sunday 9 March 2014 to show that they still possess skills on the soccer field. The leadership took on Rock Stars XI, which was a team consisting of recognised people from the entertainment industry, including musician Zakes Bantwini, in the first soccer match for the 2014 season played by the ANC Provincial Executive Committee. MEC for Human Settlements and Public Works, Ravi Pillay had nostalgic memories from when he used to visit Curries Fountain in his youth. The ANC team was led by KZN Premier Senzo Mchunu who was delighted by their 5-4 win. He emphasised the importance of physical education and sport to the youth. 

Ahead of Youth Day, the Ethekwini Municipality Community Participation and Action Support Unit held a Youth Empowerment Programme at Curries Fountain. The programme also aimed to commemorate the Soweto uprising. The event was held on Saturday 14 June 2014. The aim of the event was to recognise the role of youth in the liberation of South Africa from the Apartheid regime. The attendees were presented with the opportunity to reflect on the milestones in our democracy and the strides made in the past 20 years in youth development. The event was attended by more than 2000 youth. Mayor of Ethekwini Municipality, James Nxumalo addressed the youth of the day to encourage and motivate them to strive to achieve more.
