Results of SA Masters and Grand Masters after Day 2 in Robertson

It is with regret that we announce the passing of Rudi Van Vuuren.

He was for many years a player and later the Chairperson of Northern Gauteng, before he moved to the Cape. In addition, we was Chairperson of the national Lower League structure where many folk come to enjoy their game and renew friendships.

On behalf of the Badminton South Africa, we extend our deepest sympathy to his family and friends in this sad time.

May you receive the strength that you need
