===Early tests===
South Africa has long been among the top five ranked nations in netball, having twice won medals at the [[INF Netball World Cup|World Cup]], once with a third-place finish in [[1967 World Netball Championships|1967]] and later securing runner-up status to [[Australia national netball team|Australia]] in [[1995 World Netball Championships|1995]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.todor66.com/others/Netball/World/Women_1995.html|title=Women Netball IX World Championship 1995 Birmingham (ENG) 16-29.07 - Winner Australia|work=todor66.com}}</ref> The national team was barred from participating in international test matches in 1969 because of the country's [[South Africa under apartheid|apartheid policies]] and were not readmitted until 1995.<ref name=One>{{cite web|url=http://netball.sport/events-and-results/netball-world-cup/birmingham-1995|title=Birmingham 1995|work=International Netball Federation}}</ref> Their surprise appearance in 1995 World Cup Final came off the back of a historic victory over [[New Zealand national netball team|New Zealand]], earlier in the tournament and saw that the team receive a medal from [[President of South Africa|President]] [[Nelson Mandela]] personally.<ref name=One/> The SPAR Proteas have never claimed a medal at the [[Netball at the Commonwealth Games|Commonwealth Games]].

====All-Africa Games====
At the [[1995 World Netball Championships]], South Africa had featured only [[White South Africans|white]] players. At the [[1995 All-Africa Games]], officials reguested that South Africa include six non-white players. This saw six members from the silver medal winning squad dropped and replaced. The six remaining white players subsequently withdrew on 1 September, protesting that the team was not selected by merit. So on 6 September a totally new squad was named.<ref name="1995todor66b"/>

History

Early tests

In 1956, South Africa hosted a touring England. The tour featured a series of three Tests, with England winning all three.[1][2] In 1959 South Africa toured England for the first time, winning 18 out of 25 matches. However, they once again lost all three Test matches against England.[1]

Tournament history

Major tournaments

Netball World Cup

South Africa made their World Netball Championships/Netball World Cup debut at the inaugural 1963 tournament. Despite victories over Scotland, the West Indies, Wales and Ceylon, they finished sixth.[3][4] In 1967 they were bronze medalists.[5] However, between 1971 and 1991, South Africa was unable to compete because of the sporting boycott during the apartheid era.[4][6] In 1995, South Africa returned and with an all-white team coached by Marlene Wagner, captained by Debbie Hamman and featuring Irene van Dyk and Elize Kotze, they finished as silver medalists. During the tournament they defeated both England and New Zealand before losing in the final to Australia. In 1996 Wagner, Hamman and van Dyk were all honoured by President Nelson Mandela personally.[4][6][7][8][9] South Africa hosted the 2023 Netball World Cup.[4][10][11][12][13]

African tournaments

South Africa also competes in competitions against other African national teams. These include the Africa Netball Cup, the Netball South Africa Challenge, tournaments at the All-Africa Games and Netball World Cup qualifiers.[66][67]

All-Africa Games

At the 1995 World Netball Championships, South Africa had featured only white players. At the 1995 All-Africa Games, officials reguested that South Africa include six non-white players. This saw six members from the silver medal winning squad dropped and replaced. The six remaining white players subsequently withdrew on 1 September, protesting that the team was not selected by merit. So on 6 September a totally new squad was named.[8]
