Happy Heritage Day! Today we celebrate togetherness, diversity, and the power of sport that unites us. At SASAPD, our heritage is inclusion, giving Para athletes the chance to shine and inspire.
Meet Rob Jordaan, SASAPD Para Judo Convener & 6th Dan. A judoka since the age of 6, he currently serves as 2ndnVP of Judo SA, and has championed visually impaired judokas for decades, helping them compete with pride. His dream: to see one of his athletes win a Paralympic medal.
The final Gauteng Trials take place on 25 October 2025, giving athletes the chance to earn world ranking points. If you’re aiming for a spot at the 2026 National Championships in Stellenbosch, this is your last chance to make the Gauteng team.
From volunteer in 2015 to leader in 2025 – meet Lezanne Bruwer, SASAPD Athletics Convener. She says: “Limits are only illusions, and it’s an honour to walk alongside these athletes.” Thank you, Lezanne, for reminding us that Para athletics is a celebration of the human spirit.
Gauteng Trials are coming to Germiston on 13 September, 27 September and 25 October (WPA-approved – world ranking points up for grabs). Athletes must compete in 2 meets to qualify for Stellenbosch 2026. Enter via your club or school. Entries close 2 weeks before each date meet.
It’s that Friday Feeling! Good luck to all our incredible Para athletes competing at the Gauteng Trials this weekend. We’re right behind you as you chase those qualifying marks for Stellenbosch 2026.
Powerlifting extraordinaire. International coach. Record breaker. World Masters champion. Meet Elizabeth Barry, ECSAPD Secretary & Powerlifting Convener. Since 2012, she’s been driving Para powerlifting in the Eastern Cape, proving admins can be champions.
Administrators are the heartbeat of SASAPD. They keep competitions running, inspire athletes, and carry the vision of inclusive sport. Today, we celebrate those who wear multiple hats as athletes, administrators, and coaches – Liezel Gouws and Sheryl James.
On this Gratitude Sunday, we thank our partner, Toyota, for keeping SASAPD moving forward. With your support, Para sport thrives, opening doors for athletes to rise, compete and inspire. Together, we’re building a lasting legacy of inclusion and excellence.
Behind every champion Para athlete is a dedicated administrator leader like Anita Barnard. Her vision, energy, and commitment continue to create opportunities for athletes across South Africa. Today, we celebrate Anita, SASAPD Para Powerlifting Convener.
Meet Wanele Klaasen, the National Convener for CP Football. From Lonwabo Special School to helping shape Para sport in South Africa, his journey reflects passion and service. His message: “Come out of your shells—sport can take you to places you’ve never dreamed of.”
Entries for the first Gauteng Trials on 13 September 2025 close on 2 September. To qualify for Stellenbosch 2026, athletes must take part in at least two of the three trials: 13 September, 27 September and 25 October. Don’t miss your chance — speak to your club or school today!
From stroke survivor to three-time Paralympian, Liezel Gouws has redefined what’s possible, again and again. Her faith, resilience, and determination continue to light the way for aspiring Para athletes across South Africa.
Today we celebrate our Sportswoman and Sportsman of the year with a disability - Simone Kruger and Mpumelelo Mhlongo. Simone won 2 awards, also being named the junior sports star of the year at last nights 2025 SA Sport Awards🤩👏🏆 Congratulations to long-serving para…
Discus queen Yané van der Merwe doesn’t just break African records—she breaks boundaries. Her athleticism is matched only by her ambition.
In a world that once doubted Mbasa Qilingele's strength, she lifted more than just weights—she lifted expectations. Celebrating our powerlifting phenom who proves that women can do it all.
From administrators to athletes, volunteers to visionaries, thank you to every woman in the SASAPD family. You’re our She-roes, and you’re the force that keeps the movement going.
World and Paralympic champion Simoné Kruger isn’t just breaking records—she’s rewriting history. Her throws are mighty, but her legacy is even greater.
A Paralympian and fierce competitor, Tezna’s story is one of resilience. Born with a congenital limb difference, she rose to world-class competition, showing us what true strength looks like.
🌟 SASAPD is beaming with pride! 🌟 Our President, Jean Miggels and NEC are thrilled to celebrate our incredible members who have been nominated for the 18th SA Sport Awards 🏆✨ 🏅 Youth/Junior Sport Star of the Year • Simoné Kruger 🏅 Technical Official of the Year •…
