Yei Rive County Assistant Commissioner for Culture, Youth and Sports urged the government to allot land for sports activities for the youths to develop their talents.
Kujo Beneath told Easter Radio on Monday that most public places in the Yei town are occupied pushing many sports lovers to play by the road side which is prone to accidents.
He urged the government to allot land for sports activities when it demarcates areas in all the urban centres of South Sudan.
Mr Beneath said his department lacked playing grounds for sports activities.
He added that sports unite the youths and keep them safe from crime.
Mr Beneath urged people not to mix sports with politics.
He said sports should be taken as a unifying and social activity.
