The minister will have chance to reflect on the achievements of recent years and the challenges of the future, including the country's hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup and its position at the heart of the sport and development field.
Mbalula's audience will include the likes of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the chairman of the Beyond Sport Ambassadors, as well as international athletes of the calibre of Michael Johnson and many of the world's leading companies and businesses, alongside the best that South African sport, development and business has to offer, with star names including Oscar Pistorius, Bryan Habana, Natalie du Toit and Lucas Radebe.
Mbalula said: "This country proved once again with the FIFA World Cup that we can stage the biggest events in the world, and we will do the same with the Beyond Sport Summit. Beyond Sport is a hugely powerful global movement and staging the event in South Africa guarantees that we will welcome many of the world's biggest companies, organisations and high-profile names, and once again showcase our success and our potential."
Blair said: "One of the reasons I'm connected with Beyond Sport is that I think sport is hugely important in terms of social policy, healthcare and anti-crime policy. I spent ten years as prime minister trying to get the system to accept that sports policy was a mainstream issue. I think what is undeniably true is that the civic society elements in the sports world do a great job, and governments should always try to encourage them and support them. Beyond Sport continues to prove how effective that work can be."
