Governing and developing handball across Gauteng
About the federation

One province. One handball system.

Gauteng Handball Federation is the provincial home of the game: connecting township clubs, schools, districts, technical officials and representative teams from Soweto and Johannesburg to Ekurhuleni and Tshwane.

A Gauteng story built on participation and performance.

GHF’s public record reflects a federation working across community development, provincial competition and national representation.
