Capespan Farms hosted its annual Sports Day in the Northern Cape on 3 October, bringing colleagues together from seven farming operations for a day of competition, teamwork and camaraderie.

The five Capespan table grape farms in the Northern Cape — Valam, Norriseep, Noudonsies, Arendsnes and Oorkant — were joined by Capespan’s two citrus farms, Penhill from the Eastern Cape and Groot Patrysvlei from the Western Cape.

Teams competed in soccer, netball, tug-of-war and cross country, with some excellent results across the different events:

•Soccer: 1st Norriseep | 2nd Noudonsies | 3rd Arendsnes

•Netball: 1st Groot Patrysvlei | 2nd Valam | 3rd Penhill

•Tug-of-war: 1st Valam | 2nd Groot Patrysvlei

•Men’s Cross Country: 1st Mosimanegape Thabolo | 2nd Goltsemodimo Daniso | 3rd Edwin Motkei

•Women’s Cross Country: 1st Mogadishu Phiri | 2nd Christina Beukes | 3rd Kegotshepa Morare

Beyond the competition, the Sports Day provides an opportunity for colleagues from different farms and regions to connect, while encouraging physical wellbeing, teamwork, confidence and a strong sense of community.

Congratulations to all the teams and athletes who participated, and thank you to everyone involved in organising and supporting the day.

A special thank you also goes to the many sponsors whose contributions helped make the 2026 Sports Day possible.

Sport, teamwork and community spirit were once again at the centre of the annual Aussenkehr Sports Tournament, hosted by Namibia Grape Company (NGC).

Capespan has supported the tournament since 2008, with funding made available through the NGC Social Development Trust. The event is open to teams from fruit farms across Aussenkehr, as well as other teams from the wider //Kharas Region, bringing the community together through friendly competition and shared participation.

The 2026 tournament took place over two weekends, with the final matches held from 25–27 September. NGC was well represented across several disciplines, with the tug-of-war team finishing second overall and the netball team placing eighth.

The programme also included 35 km and 10 km road races, as well as a special masters soccer match featuring older players who were part of the tournament in its early years and no longer play competitively.

A particular highlight was the final soccer match, where the NGC team secured victory to finish first in the tournament.

Some rainy weather added an unexpected challenge to the final weekend, with the last matches only able to take place late on Sunday. Despite the conditions, the enthusiasm remained high, with strong camaraderie between the players, organisers and coordinators throughout the event.

Capespan is proud to remain associated with an initiative that has become an important part of the Aussenkehr community. Sport provides much more than recreation: it encourages physical fitness, confidence, teamwork, resilience, discipline and positive ways for people to spend their time together.

Thank you to everyone who organised, coordinated, participated in and supported this year’s tournament, and congratulations to all the teams who took part.
