This
is an informative site for Southern Africa Chinese
Sports Association (SACSA) Members and the Chinese
community in general.
The annual Easter
Tournament Games started in 1960 as a means to foster
closer relations between the Chinese in the country,
through participation in sports. With regional teams
competing in a variety of seven different sports
which is hosted in various centers such as Cape Town,
Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and Pretoria. With its
popularity over the years we have international teams
participating too.
"…SACSA was formed
in 1969 to promote amateur sports among Chinese and
to standardize the rules governing the various
sports… Sport more than any other activity is the
means by which the community becomes more closely
knit, locally and nationally. Not only does it allow
young people to socialize in their own towns, but it
enables them to extend their circle of friends to
Chinese throughout the country…"
