Today, 12 April 2021, will be the first of six ceremonial cheque handovers in which Minister Anroux Marais will present a total of approximately R12.9 million in support of 145 affiliated sport federations across the province.

As we build-up to the 2023 Netball World Cup, the DCAS has prioritized upgrading and providing Netball facilities across the province in support of the much-needed Legacy Project.  To increase access to the code to optimize our pool of talent for participation at higher levels of excellence, the Langeberg and Saldanha Municipalities will receive an additional R800 000 and R600 000 respectively at this round of handovers to upgrade the Netball facilities at the Robertson Sportsground and Ronnie Louw Sport Field.
