Calling all female esports athletes.

Gabriella Isaacs remains South Africa's top female esports achiever. Gabriella finished in second place at IESF's 2012 WEC in the StarCraft Female division - second only to South Korea's Kim "Aphrodite" Young.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has always endeavoured to ensure gender equity in all levels of gaming.

Even when the gaming community was slow to accept such gender equality, MSSA held firm to its principles and ensured that there were females as part of all levels in South Africa.

MSSA has more females on its Board than any other esports federation, and has sent more females than any other national esports federation to compete at IESF's World Esports Championships (WEC). In fact, MSSA, in the form of Marisa Van Der Westhuizen, has had the first-and-only female Team Captain and Flag Bearer at an IESF event.

MSSA's current policies dictate that, where possible, half of all National Team Squads, from which the National Team, is selected, shall be female.

However, in 2022 MSSA did not fare so well. The Female CSGO team was unfortunately unable to attend IESF's 14th WEC and as a result the Namibian team snuck through the African Qualifiers to end in fourth (4th) place in Bali and scoop US$5,000.00 prize money.

There is though, a second chance for South African CSGO female esports athletes. IESF shall be hosting a CSGO event for females at its 15th WEC in Lasi in August 2023.

All that a female esports athlete needs to do to be considered for selection is to:

• Be a member of an affiliated club,
• Participate, and win, a MSSA Regional Championship and/or Derby event,
• Participate, and finish in the top three or top 20% (whichever is greater), of a MSSA Provincial and/or National Championships, and
  
• Be ranked in the top 20 places of the official ladder for females.

Lasi awaits those who are not of faint heart. The benefits of merely being selected for the National Squad and earning National Federation Colours is of huge benefit in everyday life.

Take advantage of the opportunity - you know you want to!

Female CSGO teams to play in Bali

 

MSSA's 2018 Protea CSGO Team which is the only all female team to date to have participated in a IESF World Esports Championships in the Counter-Strike GO game title.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has always advocated gender equity in esports. The chief architect of promoting gender equity on both MSSA's field of play, as well as in the administration, is the previous and current MSSA President, Colin Webster.

Even while serving on the Board, and as President, of IESF, Colin Webster never stopped advocating such gender equity - even in the face of, sometimes, quite vitriolic opposition.

Thus for several years, South Africa was the only IESF member who put its money-where-its-mouth-is by entering female players into successive IESF World Esports Championships. For several years the only female participation at IESF World Esports Championships were South Africans.

However, IESF has announced that at its 14th World Esports Championships in Bali in 2022, there will be an event for the CSGO game title exclusively for females.

Such announcement has met with great approval by MSSA Board members and member clubs. 

MSSA has thus already entered a team to participate in such event, and thus female CSGO teams participating in MSSA events shall qualify for National Team Trials and selection.

Notice has been given.

 

Past IESF President, Colin Webster (from South Africa) waving IESF's flag at a recent IESF World Championships.

International  Esports Federation (IESF) has announced that it shall hold its 2020 Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) on 21 December 2020.

As a break from tradition, and due to the impact of COVID-19, IESF shall be holding its OGM via the internet as  per legal opinion. 

By holding such OGM via internet, the safety of all members is affirmed, and full participation is  expected.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has been present at all OGM's since 2009, and have over  the years, made huge contributions in ensuring that IESF continues to become more-and-more democratic and look after the interests of all esports athletes.

Since all members have been invited to submit motions, nominations for the President and Board, and any other matter (submission templates shall be sent separately) by 12 November 2020, MSSA requests all members to submit their suggestions to MSSA's Board by 7 November 2020 for consideration.

MSSA is particularly committed to pursuing gender equity on IESF's Board and on all commissions, as  well as to enlarging the Board to ensure that their is greater diversity and representation.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is proud of its achievements of being the only National Federation to have achieved gender equity on its Board, as well as to be the only National Federation to have delivered a female component in each and every national Protea Team that has attended every International Esports Federation (IESF) World Championships since 2012. 

However, it should be noted that MSSA, though, first awarded Protea Colours in 2010 to female athletes (Kgothatso Moerane, and Natalie Witoslawski) who were both Tuks students at the time.

It is by participating in the NWU MSSA Online School League that female esports athletes can qualify for National Team Trials, and at the same time have a little fun as well as possible earn a little silverware, in the form of medals, earn High School Provincial Colours, and possibly even earn some prize money, or even win the bursary on offer.

As already reported, the Online League (NWU MSSA Online School League) offers prizes other than just the medals and provincial colours to the overall winners. The prizes include:

• A R30,000.00 Bursary for the winner of the StreetFighter V esports title, and
• R5,000.00 Prize money for the School for the winner of the Paladins esports title, and
• R5,000.00 Prize money for the School for the winner of the DotA 2 esports title, and
• R5,000.00 Prize money for the School for the winner of the efootball PES 2020 esports title.

The following Medals may be awarded at MSSA's 2020 Annual Inter-School League:

• HIGH SCHOOL (FEMALE): Medals shall be awarded to the first three high school scholars.
• PRIMARY SCHOOL (FEMALE): Medals shall be awarded to the first three high school scholars.
• HIGH SCHOOL (MALE): Medals shall be awarded to the first three high school scholars.
• PRIMARY SCHOOL (MALE): Medals shall be awarded to the first three high school scholars.

Calling for nominations: Womens' Desk

Dr. Janine Brand (left) seen here at Hong Kong International airport, attended attended IESF's Global Executive Esports Summit in Busan, South Korea.

The position of Womens' Desk has been available since 2005 when such position was held by Ruth Davey (Maritzburg Christian School).

Since then, only four other Registered Players have held the position of Womens' Desk even though it is one of the most vital of all positions on the Management Board.

Recently Dr. Janine Brand most recently held the position, but due to her term of office ending, the position is now vacant.

The four who have held the position are:

• Dr. Janine Brand (Valhalla)
• Blair Hamberger (VexxedPhoenix)
• Morizane Boyes (VexxedPhoenix)
• Ledile Tshwane (University of Johannesburg)
• Ruth Davey (Maritzburg Christian School)

The incumbent must be a female, and must be concerned with promoting the rights of women and ensuring that all decisions, rules, and regulations conform with gender equity.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is totally committed to enforcing, and promoting, gender equity at all levels.

It is therefore not surprising that MSSA has a female president, that MSSA has clauses within its constitution enforcing gender equity, and that it is the only National Federation in IESF that has had female athletes in its national team every year since 2011.

Thus, this is not a position for 'shrinking violets', this is a position for those with passion, dedication, and commitment.

Any Registered Player wishing to stand for the position, must apply on or before 15 February 2019 to mindsportscorrespondence@gmail.com.

MSSA plans to push for gender equality on CAES.

Amanda Pakade - MSSA President (left), Hsu Pei-Ching - CTeSA President (centre), and Salome de Bruyn - NeSA (right).

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is at the forefront of ensuring that gender equality exists at all levels within MSSA, be it on the playing field, and all the way up to the office of the President.

For years too, MSSA has strongly advocated gender equality on International Esports Federation (IESF), but has unfortunately met with some strong resistance. Nevertheless, MSSA every year continues to advocate such at such august body's General Meeting, and, MSSA has noticed that those against are becoming fewer in number.

As part of ensuring gender equality, MSSA too is pushing for such on the Confederation of African Esports (CAES).

Up until now, from the founding of CAES in 2013, every Executive Committee member has been a male.

Considering that esports is a sport that is available to all, such a composition on the Executive Committee is out of line.

MSSA will, therefore be advocating radical changes to ensure gender equity in the hope that Africa can lead the way.

Happy Women's Day

Amanda Pakade is an active advocate of gender equity.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is always mindful of the contribution made by its female athletes and administrators.

MSSA is thus the only gaming organisation world-wide that effectively puts its gender equity into practice.

MSSA's Board currently has 6 out of 13 positions held by females, and since 2012, MSSA has always had a female component to the national Protea team.

With the highest position in MSSA held by a female, Amanda Kwaza, MSSA has found itself transformed.

Amanda Kwaza thus has issued the following missive:,"Happy Woman's day to all our female gamers... Thank you for becoming part of MSSA....MSSA values and appreciatesyou,.

MSSA wishes you a happy Woman's day." Also read:

Blair Hamberger (VexxedPhoenix) proved to be an expert esports athlete and competent administrator.

The position of Womens' Desk has been available since 2005 when such position was held by Ruth Davey (Maritzburg Christian School).

Since then, only three other Registered Players have held the position of Womens' Desk even though it is one of the most vital of all positions on the Management Board.

Recently Blair Hamberger most recently held the position but due to other commitments, is unable to see out her term of office.

For the first time ever...

Northcliff High School's Rina Rene du Toit has just earned herself Gauteng High School Provincial Colours.

It is a well known opinion that in order for any sport to grow and flourish, female participation is a must.

It is no different with esports either, and Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is a firm believer of gender equity on all levels.

But of course, it starts at school. If there isn't gender equality at school, there will not be gender equality anywhere.

Northcliff High School seems to be a great promoter of such equality, and as a result, the growth of female gamers in the school grows from year-to-year.

Through such enabling environment, Rina Rene du Toit has been able to come into her own. Having finished in first place in MSSA's 9th Online Schools' Provincial Championships, Rina has set herself up as the female to beat.  Having won her division, Rina also takes away, in addition to her win, Gauteng Provincial High School Colours and the ability to be selected for the National Squad.

Thus all eyes are now on Rina to see just how far she will go.

Amanda Pakade is elected in for a 3 year term as MSSA President.

Amanda Pakade at TESL's Esports Arena.

Having been co-opted as President in July 2018, Amanda Pakade immediately set out to make a difference in the athlete's lives - just as she does in the lives of all with whom she comes into contact. Amanda's personal hashtag is: #l was born to make an impact. However, having been co-opted, Amanda was always aware that she was there at the will of the Management Board, and was thus aware of the temporary nature of the office. Nevertheless, Amanda threw herself into the commitments. Having represented MSSA at the site inspection for IESF's 10th World Championships, attended IESF's 11th Ordinary General Meeting in Kaohsuing, and oversaw many changes to MSSA's Constitution and Regulations, Amanda proved that she was a hard-worker as well as a formidable committee member who has the vision and ability to lead Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA). Not a single person stood against Amanda for the position of MSSA President at MSSA's Annual General Meeting held on 1 December 2018. Even though MSSA's Constitution allows for members to vote against nominations, every member that voted cast their ballot in favour of Amanda's candidacy.
With the will of the membership now behind her, Amanda has begun her three year term and is determined to effect greater changes that will benefit all athletes. The four areas are:

• To ensure greater efficacy in regards to national team selection,
• To improve the inclusivity of MSSA championships,
• Oversee the award of all colours awarded, and
• Encourage greater gender equity and representivity.

Already many changes have been made to how the National Team is selected. Amanda has already proven that she is more than capable in providing effective leadership to create sustainable change and improvement. There is no doubt that Amanda is indeed a valuable asset to MSSA, and that MSSA under Amanda's guiding hand will continue to grow and prosper.

Ensuring gender equity in esports.

Amanda Pakade - MSSA President (left), Hsu Pei-Ching - CTeSA President (centre), and Salome de Bruyn - NeSA (right).

Over the years Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has pushed hard for gender equity.

Through such efforts, MSSA was the first organisation in Africa to hold championships for females, and is the only national federation for esports in the world that has constitutionalised the need for gender equity. MSSA is also the only national federation that has female members of its national esports team every single year from 2012. The 2018 team, sponsored by Partnermedia, North West University (NWU), and ZAG Academy, was no different.

Despite MSSA having made great achievements in the field of gender equity in South Africa, MSSA's efforts to ensure gender at an international level are seemingly being met with apathy.

As a result, at IESF's Ordinary General Meeting(OGM), only three national federations present had female delegates. Such member federations were Chinese Taipei (CTeSA), Namibia (NeSA), and South Africa (MSSA).

MSSA's proposal to greater enforce gender equity at an administrative level was, rather disapointingly, defeated. However, Amanda Pakade (MSSA President) remains upbeat that the motion will pass in future years.

MSSA announces its Protea CounterStrike: GO team to battle against Switzerland.

Marisa van der Westhuizen and Esmari Swart

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is ever mindful of ensuring that there is both transformation and development in every aspect of the games (periods) of which it is custodian.

Thus the selected national squads from which the national Protea teams are drafted now have gender equity.

As a result it only stands to reason that Protea teams selected such squad will further reflect the massive changes occurring within MSSA - and the country as a whole.

On 26 August 2017 MSSA reported that Switzerland (as represented by SESF) has challenged South Africa (as represented by MSSA) to an online test match for the esports of CounterStrike: GO, DotA 2, and Tekken 7.

The official IeSF test match is be played on 9 September 2017, and for the first time ever, females have been selected to represent South Africa in the national Protea team sees, for the first time, twice as many females included than ever before.

Such inclusion of both Esmari Swart and Marisa van der Westhuizen is largely due to the efforts of a conscious decision by the national federation to ensure that gender equity is achieved.

Only by consistently championing such causes will any real headway be made, and MSSA is committed to such. 

• Ryan van Schalkwyk (Captain)
• Esmari Swart (Vice-Captain)
• James Hulett
• Leander Van Schalkwyk
• Marisa van der Westhuizen

MSSA is convinced that the Protea Team will do South Africa proud when they play from Roedean School on 9 September 2017.

Nicolene van der Linde makes history.

Nicolene van der Linde

Empangeni High School was  the undisputed winner of Mind Sports South Africa's Online League for 4 term schools for the League of Legends esports period.

Empangeni's team was also the only team in the League of Legends league that had members of both genders.

The team consisted of: 

Name of athlete	Colours awarded
Darius Botha	KwaZulu Natal High School Provincial Colours
Charl Malan	KwaZulu Natal High School Provincial Colours
Jarred Poupard	KwaZulu Natal High School Provincial Colours
Joshua Poupard	KwaZulu Natal High School Provincial Colours
Dylan Smyth	KwaZulu Natal High School Provincial Colours
Nicolene van der Linde	KwaZulu Natal High School Provincial Colours

With the team having earned KwaZulu Natal High School Colours, 

Nicolene van der Linde has the undisputed honour of becoming the first female to receive KZN High School Provincial Colours for esports, and only the second female to ever receive KZN High School Provincial Colours in the history of South Africa.

Nicolene too is also the first female to qualify for National Team Trials for League of Legends from KwaZulu Natal.

Well done Nicolene, you are helping to make it better for so many more people.

MSSA celebrates its women.

Gabriela Isaacs who represented South Africa at IeSF’s 4th World Championships – Cheonan.

The quote by Ayn Rand, "The question isn't who's going to let me; it's who is going to stop me." epitomizes all  the women that have served on MSSA's committees and who have represented South Africa in international competition.

All of the women who have either served on the committee or been in a national team have been responsible, and contributed, to the radical transformation of Mind Sports South Africa.

MSSA today, as a result, is a very different organisation, to what it was even just three years ago.

MSSA today is an organisation that has gender equity on its Management Board and is, in my opinion, the only gaming organisation in the world that actively endeavours to to promote gender equity in its teams.

Mind Sports South Africa, thus, is the only country to have female representation in its national team at IeSF's World Championships every year since 2012.

In wargames and Morabaraba, MSSA's commitment to promoting women goes back even further.

However, there is no time for MSSA to rest on its laurels as there is still much, much more work to be done. The foundation is there, it just needs to be built upon.

The full list of women who have represented South Africa in international competition is as follows:
