South African netball history writers have all but ignored netball experiences in black communities in South Africa, however.

Key Points: 
  • South African netball history writers have all but ignored netball experiences in black communities in South Africa, however.
  • As a scholar of sport history, with a focus on marginalised communities, I conducted a study on this untold history of netball in black communities in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
  • It’s important that these stories be told to understand the role of sport in black life in a racially divided South Africa.

Early years

    • A South African photograph displays a netball picture taken as early as 1905.
    • According to records from the Cape Town Teachers’ Training College, netball was played there by 1917.
    • Newspaper accounts reveal that the game was occasionally played in black school communities after the first world war, which ended in 1918.
    • In 1941, a report was found of an inter-class netball tournament at Söhnge College in the rural town of Worcester.
    • Most black children received their early education in mission or church schools.

After the second world war

    • This board extended its netball programme over a vast area spanning the Western Cape.
    • Netball officials from the board were actively involved in other sport codes and areas of social activity.
    • Over the years many clubs played in this union and by 1966, the multiple units were playing in four divisions.

Why this matters

    • The evidence shows that netball played an important part in the cultural life of black communities in Cape Town.
    • It also became part of the institutional culture of schools and colleges in these communities.
