News

SFSA is a long running South African Science Fiction club. We enjoy social gatherings once a month, an extensive library of books for members, an excellent quarterly fanzine, mini conventions, a yearly short story competion and much more.


  • Next month's event: Speaker: Prof. Deirdre Byrne on Harry Potter and modern fantasy on Saturday 19 July 2008



  • 10 June 2008: SFSA in Cape Town. A couple of people in the greater Cape Town area are now looking at getting together for regular meetings. If you live in the region and would like to contact other SF fans, please send secretary@sfsa.org.za your details, and we'll pass it on. It would be great for SFSA to have a Cape Town Chapter.
  • Our Mini Radio Play is currently being judged. We appologise to all for the delay, but life have the bad habit of interfering.

  • Camping weekend: 12th/13th of April 2008. We got washed out in our attempt to go camping last year, so we have decided to try again. We are intending to go to Mountain Sanctuary Park (about an hours drive from Johannesburg) on the 12th of April. We will braai and stay over and probably go for a walk on Sunday the 13th. The cost of the outing will be R60.00 and we need to pay a deposit of R30.00 per person. Could those people who are interested please let us know so that we can book?
  • Short story competition: Winners and finalists of 2007 updated on web site

  • 31 January 2008: The Mini Radio Play Competition submission deadline is 31 January, but we've decided to extend the deadline for two weeks to allow for postage and a few late entries we know are almost done ... so if you're finishing something off, or a literary whizzkid who can write an under 3 minute radio play in 2 weeks - feel free to send it in ... but don't delay!

  • 13 November 2007: SFSA newest competition is a Mini Radio Play. Entries are open now, and close on 31 January 2008. Please read the Mini Radio Play page for more details, rules and entry forms, as well as links to help you start.
