Boland Fencing is an organisation that was founded in 2006 as a governing body for all fencing clubs in the Boland region. The aim of Boland fencing is to promote and develop fencing and thereby making it accesable to all. There are at present four fencing clubs in the Boland region, namely USFC (University Stellenbosch Fencing Club), Fox's Cavalry, Somerset-West Fencing Club and Paul Roos Fencing Club. Fencing within the Boland region is highly structured, making use of a formal academic approach to supplement physical training. This means that students need to pass both theoretical as well as practical exams in order to advance in rank. This ensures that high standards of training are maintained while the student has a clear understanding of what is expected of him / her. Boland Fencing also boasts a rich fencing culture that promotes individuality and independent thinking while also teaching students how to work together as a group...

South African Sailing (SAS) is the recognised National Federation representing the interests of sailing in all its forms in South Africa.

Fencing was first introduced to the Cape by the officers of the British army during the Anglo-Boer war. It was pursued at local schools such as Bishops and SACS but not formally given concrete expression until the 1950s and 1960s. A Royal Navy officer, Captain Barber, serving at the Cape station at Simonstown later to become a full blown Admiral in the RN, introduced serious gymnastics into the Cape in the 1950s and along with it, came fencing.

Out of this conference organized fencing in the Cape took a more coherent form in the shape of the Amateur Fencing Association of the Cape Province. At that time the Cape Province covered a vast area and included such remote outposts as Kimberley, Upington and Grahamstown with all their attendant responsibilities...
