OUDTSHOORN NEWS - Throughout 2025, the Ebrahim Patel Community Cup (EPCC) continued to honour its commitment to meaningful community upliftment through a series of targeted give-back initiatives. 

These initiatives included kit donations, coaching clinics, infrastructure support and the facilitation of international exposure opportunities for community schools and clubs.

One such initiative took place at H Venter Primary School in Ashton, where the U13 girls' rugby team received a full kit, coaching clinics and refreshments.

Oudtshoorn-born Springbok and Blitzbok captain Kabamba Floors also gives his time and expertise, hosting coaching clinics and transferring valuable skills to both learners and under-resourced coaches.

As part of its broader club support programme, the EPCC Local Organising Committee (LOC) and its partners handed over a kit to Collegians RFC (Oudtshoorn), Progress RFC and Crusaders RFC (George).

At the time, Crusaders RFC Chairman Dion Sigamoney expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the generous contribution from EPCC partners.

According to Romano Lekay, the tournament director: Ebrahim Patel Community Cup, EPCC is built on three core pillars: the Ebrahim Patel Community Cup tournament, the Ebrahim Patel Memorial Lecture and our give-back initiatives.
