Welcome to the South African Fancy Pigeon Association
INTRODUCTION
Founded in Cape Town on the 23 April 1943, the South African Fancy Pigeon Association has grown into a large organisation which today consists of 10 different areas and 20 specialists clubs reaching to all the corners of South Africa and has a diverse history of over 74 years.
The sport of Fancy Pigeons is a peaceful and enjoyable culture which encourages fellowship and a passion for any member of society, and has become a family sport throughout South Africa.
HOW WE STARTEDIn the early 1940’s, the so-called important and well-known pigeon fanciers felt the necessity of establishing a country wide organisation to handle the ”problems in solving the differences between the various fanciers and to obtain show pens for pigeon shows as was the case in overseas countries.”
