Eighteen (18) clubs participated at MSSA’s 16th Mpumulanga Championships held at HTS Witbank on 27 & 28 May2017. Each club affiliated to MSSA consists of one or more teams, with some clubs having as many as 250 members.
Currently, there are over seventy (70) clubs affiliated to Mind Sports South Africa. If you do the math, you will realise just how big MSSA really is and how it dwarfs any other gaming organisation in South Africa.
The growth of structured clubs leads to a far more sustainable sport.

Clubs provide a
legal framework for a democratic process in which there can be a
process of elections wherein the intellectual property of the various
teams and the resources earned over the years can be legally
transferred to the new administrators.
It is through the legal club structure that National Lottery Funding can be accessed.
