Established 2026 · Non-profit national federation
The Slingshot Federation of South Africa (SFoSA) is the national governing body for the sport of slingshot, or kettie, shooting. We promote, develop and represent the sport for communities across the country.
SFoSA is the recognised body authorised to represent and control the sport of slingshot shooting in the Republic of South Africa. As a non-profit federation, everything we do goes back into growing the sport, never into private gain.
