“Since we have achieved our freedom, there can only be one division amongst us: between those who cherish democracy and those who do not.”
– Nelson Mandela

The Zandvlei Sports Club (ZSC) is made up of Members from a variety of different Sporting Codes including Canoeing, Canoe Polo, Jiu Jitsu, Pilates, Sailing and Stand-up Paddle Boarding. Within each Sporting Code, Members may choose to remain independent or to join/form a subsection club catering for their specific needs within the bounds of the ZSC Constitution e.g. within the Canoeing Sporting Code is the Peninsula Canoe Club.  ZSC is a democratically run umbrella organisation formed by its Members to determine and administer the common interest of all Members in a fair manner.

When each individual member’s Membership Fees, together with the fees for any optional Storage, are fully paid up for the current calendar year to ZSC, Membership is activated. As ZSC is run as a non-profit organisation, the ZSC fees are all for the benefit, maintenance, improvement and day-to-day running of our beautiful premises.

Subsection clubs may add their own surcharge to the ZSC Fees, and this is then reimbursed to that subsection club.

By applying for membership, all members agree to abide by the prevailing constitution, the decisions democratically voted in at AGMs and SGMs, the decisions made by the Executive, and to fully co-operate with the governance and administration of the Club in a positive and constructive manner.

Governance and administration are done by the Committee. Members vote to democratically elect the Executive positions of Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer Committee Members to represent them in running the affairs of the club. The other positions are separately elected by the constituent clubs and approved at the ZSC AGM.

The current 2024 ZSC Committee consists of:

1. Chairman: Siv Sivertsen chairman@zsczandvleisportsclub.co.za
2. Honorary Secretary: Mitch Schafer secretary@zsczandvleisportsclub.co.za
3. Honorary Treasurer: Honey Spring treasurer@zsczandvleisportsclub.co.za
