Thank you for your generous donations! They are so appreciated.

The Joburg Squash Committee has decided to use the initial donations to put a proper wooden floor onto the Gazankulu Court in Soweto.

We hope to share pictures of the progress once it is underway.

Any further donations are always welcomes.

Joburg Squash Association is proud to announce the launch of our documentary - Beyond These Walls: The Gazankulu Squash Court Story.

Watch the official promo below.

It’s an emotive sports documentary which showcases two young, impoverished squash players training on The Gazankulu Squash Court, a rundown squash court deep in one of South Africa's poorest townships — Soweto. The documentary follows them as they take on the country’s top players and as they grapple with the harsh realities of growing up in poverty.

We filmed this documentary in 2023 with the goal of showcasing and promoting squash development in our region. We want to use this documentary to raise funds to help young, underprivileged squash players in Gauteng take part and benefit from this amazing sport.

Watch the full documentary and donate to help through our website: https://www.gautengsquash.co.za/joburg-squash-foundation/

Some behind-the-scenes stills from our documentary Beyond These Walls: The Gazankulu Squash Court Story.

The children who feature in this documentary live in a harsh environment where poverty, unemployment, alcohol and drug abuse are common. These kids are using the positive influence of squash to create a better future for themselves. The aim of the Joburg Squash Foundation is to show that sport can play a pivotal role in helping young people in Johannesburg, South Africa find success.

“It’s not just squash. For these kids it feels like life or death”
