Sports, football specifically, is the foundation of the COMETSA Group. The organization was started as a development football club in Parktown/Hillbrow, Johannesburg, on the 1st August 1997. It has since developed into a management consulting group, and transferred its sports development activities to COMETSA Sports Development Agency NPC. Other development agencies have also been registered. As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary this year, 2017, most of the agencies will kickoff their development projects, marking the new beginning for COMETSA Group. COMETSA Development Agencies are the Socio-Economic Development Arms of COMETSA Group. They are, however, independent and have their own Boards of Directors. The administration is performed on a fee basis by COMETSA Shared Services. Each Agency produces its own set of reports. These reports are not consolidated into COMETSA Group, since the agencies are separately registered (NPCs). The agencies implement and/or support their own projects in the communities, and sometimes collaborate with each other. Most of the projects are funded by independent individual and/or organization donors who identify COMETSA as a preferred implementing partner. The agencies also identify and implement community development projects on behalf of the Corporate Social Investment units of COMETSA clients.

4. About COMETSA Agencies
Cometsa Development Agencies are the Socio-Economic
Development Arms of Cometsa Group. They are, however,
independent and have their own Boards of Directors. The
administration is performed on a fee basis by Cometsa Shared
Services.
Each Agency produces its own set of financial reports. These financial
reports are not consolidated into the Cometsa Group, since the
agencies are separately registered companies (NPCs). The
agencies implement and/or support their projects in the
communities, and sometimes collaborate with each other.
Most of the projects are funded by independent individual and/or
organization donors who identified COMETSA as a preferred
implementing organization. The agencies also identify and
implement community development projects on behalf of the
Corporate Social Investment units of companies.
