2025 SPAR National Netball Championships

Johannesburg hosted the 2025 SPAR National Netball Championships in Boksburg from early December as part of the national “16 Days of Activism.”
More than 100 teams competed under the guidance of SPAR Group and Netball South Africa.
The tournament combined sport with social campaigns: organisers ran daily awareness drives on GBV and period poverty, and also facilitated youth dialogues and on-site content creation.
On court, Johannesburg’s teams won both senior and Under-21 titles — the senior side edged Cape Town 52–51 in the final; the Under-21 team beat Dr Kenneth Kaunda 44–33.
