Why the change:

With the dawn of our new democracy, the demarcations in our country changed. In sport, many of us let go of symbols and demarcations of the past. We recognised, that as "traditional" as the Western Province Disa was, it is part of the past and we embraced the "Cape Town" brand. Although the likes of rugby, golf and athletics are still clinging, the reality is that Western Province is no longer a province in the democratic dispensation. Sports federations had to align their structures to correspond with the Geopolitical Boundaries as per the Constitution of the country. Many codes have gone the Cape Town route. The old Western Province now consist of regions namely: Cape Town; West Coast; Winelands; Overberg; Eden; Central Karoo.
