ZAIDA BEUKES

PRESIDENT

I have served on the Executive of CTT since 2011 and my current position is that of President. The Executive consists of 11 members who serve in different portfolios. The Executive members have a range of knowledge, skills and expertise to perform successfully in their respective portfolios. We are all committed to the vision which is “To enable a culture of accessible, inclusive and affordable tennis for all”. All members ascribe to the values of professionalism, transparency, integrity, accountability and accessibility.  Three of the Executive members serve on the Board of Tennis South Africa.                                                                                                                                                                         

CTT has 40 clubs affiliated to the federation. We have a strong league that is played throughout the year. Each player should be commended for their involvement, passion and commitment to the game. The administrators at the respective clubs should also be commended for their dedication, hard work and commitment. 

As an Executive, we are always open to assistance and advice. Members should feel free to contact us at any time.  

 

I am a qualified teacher, currently employed at the Department of Correctional Services where I function in an HR and Financial Management position. I am also a qualified National coach and completed a Level 2 Umpires course.

Coming from a family of tennis players, I have been playing the game since the age of 9. The game has taught me so much in terms of teamwork, sportsmanship, social skills and physical health. I have been fortunate to travel the world participating in various tournaments and have met the most amazing people in the process.

I currently belong to Old Mutual Tennis Club. I also enjoy running and am a keen golfer.
