The KwaZulu Natal Society for the blind and Deaf has been using the Curries Fountain Sports Development Centre sportsfield since 2013 for training.

Director of the KZN Blind and Deaf Society, Nad Ramsarup, had this to say, “Sport is as good for KZN Blind and Deaf Society clients as for anyone else, and we employ two sports co-ordinators to help those with impaired sight or hearing respectively. We practice blind cricket and goal ball for blind people, and soccer, netball, volleyball and badminton for the deaf. Finding suitable practice grounds for our deaf clients proved very difficult for many months, until we approached Curries Fountain Management whose positive response delighted us. A particular advantage of Curries Fountain is its central location with easy access for our deaf clients.

They are very accommodating towards us and professionally prepare the pitches according to our needs. Our experience at Curries Fountain is always pleasant and we look forward to a long, healthy relationship with them.”

On Friday 7 February 2014 the South African Democratic Teachers Union held an Education Alliance Programme at the Curries Fountain Sports Development Centre. The event was held in conjunction with NEHAWU, POPCRU, SAMWU, COSAS and SASCO. The aim of the programme was to assist school leavers and those who are experiencing problems with funding to attend a tertiary institution. Minister of Higher Education, Blade Nzimande was in attendance and encouraged the youth in his speech. Also in attendance was Melusi Gigaba, Minister of Public Enterprise, who emphasised the importance of education to the youth. There were approximately 5000 people from the Ethekwini region who attended the programme. The programme was free to the public and open to anyone looking for assistance.
