Dibeke sport is a multi-skilled running ball game. According to oral history the name Dibeke came after the game was already played, to describe the addictive nature of the sport to the youth, which played week-in week-out every day of the week. Dibeke was and still is a product of sporting and recreational need, which affects the majority of the youth of our country and it turn out to be the dynamic expression of the creativity of the African youth.
