About Us

In the early 1947’s the SA Hengel Unie was established with the members which includes some coastal Unions and Suid Wes Africa Union. During 1948 was the Transvaalse Hengel Unie established and was affiliated with the SA Hengel Unie. At first the participation between the unions at that stage was focussed on saltwater discipline. The clubs of the Transvaalse Hengel Unie took part in Freshwater competitions against one another.

Most of the Provincial in land Angling Unions was established between 1951 and 1952. The coastal Unions was established before this period. At the yearly meeting of the SA Hengel Unie in 1957, the decision was made that the freshwater angling discipline may have its own National Championships with the host being the Transvaalse Hengel Unie.
The participation is done in team structures on Provincial and National level. The selected National teams participate annually in Region 5 Tournaments and World Championships.
