History
Early years
In 1951, the all-white South African Women's Netball Association was established. In 1957, their president represented South Africa at the inaugural International Netball Conference in London. In 1960, South Africa were founder members of the International Federation of Netball Associations.[4][5]
Post apartheid era
In 1992, with the end sporting boycott during the apartheid era, Netball South Africa became the new governing body for netball in South Africa.[1] In 2000, the NSA was criticised by a Parliament of South Africa committee for being "too old and too white."[6]
Controversy
In April 2025, World Netball suspended Netball SA president Cecilia Molokwane. Netball South Africa then appeared before the Portfolio Committee on Sport, Arts and Culture, facing criticism for lengthy delays in releasing audited financial reports, and over unexplained expenses relating to the R90 million grants awarded for the hosting of the 2023 Netball World Cup.[7][8]
