Cognizant of the Zimbabwean context that is polarized along political lines, sport has been a unifying activity that can be used to reach out to a lot of people regardless of their differences. Masakhaneni organises youth tournaments on soccer and netball.  The sporting events are run on themes that spread awareness messages especially on human rights. In these tournaments, relevant stakeholders are invited to talk about human rights. Youths also get to interact and discuss issues of concern in their day to day lives. Many of such tournaments have been held in Mzimuni ward 3 in Gwanda, Phakame Primary school in Mthwakazi ward 25, St Joseph in Kezi and Stanmore in Gwanda.  Masakhaneni realized that sport saves as protection and promotion of human rights. It reflects a collective society bringing together different groups of people, be it in age, tribe, gender, values with the ultimate being enjoyment of the event. The engagement of youth into sporting activities also keeps them occupied bearing in mind the challenges of unemployment and financial deprivation in the communities. Various teams have been formed in these communities and all provided with the necessary sporting kits by the organisation through donor aid.

Respect of one another is also cultivated in the field during the sporting activity. Apart from enjoyment, physical activity through sport is an important part of healthy living.
