Bryanston brothers sharpen canoe polo skills
Inspired by the 2025 Canoe Championships, two brothers decided to pursue their passion for canoeing by first refining their skills.
Callie and Cornelius Neelsie van Niekerk, brothers from Bryanston, have a deep passion for canoeing.
Callie mentions that he started playing after watching his brother, Neelsie, compete and seeing how much fun he had, which inspired him to give it a try.

After watching the 2025 Canoe Polo South African Championships, held at Dabulamanzi Canoe Club at Emmarentia Dam, with a total of 17 teams and 107 athletes representing Gauteng, Kwa-Zulu Natal, and the Western Cape, the brothers had the opportunity last week to further hone their skills through practice sessions.
