Igshaan Brenner, Janine du Toit and Marlene Williams, members of the Cape Town Netball Federation, joined us in studio on the 22nd of February, to talk about the sport that is netball.
The Cape Town Netball Federation has sub-divisions. For instance, as Marlene explains, there are 12 teams in the Mitchell's Plain division. Khayalitsha also has their own division within the federation, as well as Dunoon. Our presenter, Khusi Veto, was shocked and surprised when he heard that males also take part in playing netball which is called "rebel netball". Marlene further explained that each division is structured, where each team has to be registered and follow as well as abide to a constitution of rules and regulations set by the sub-division.
Janine boasts about the 10 districts ans divisions they have around Cape Town where at the end of the year they have an inter-club competitions where all the top teams of the different divisions compete in. She further explains that if there are any people wanting to start their own club, to get all documents would take a week, a team of at least 7 players, and a strong outlook on having fun.
"The money we get is too little...", was the words of Janine when asked if the are getting money. They would appreciate their own facility as the Cape Town Netball Federation. Successfully taking children off the streets can only happen if things go both ways where funding for equipment, facilities and funding for touring is concerned.
