The Reason Behind the Event

The Boere Boss Plaas Drags were started by David Britz, a former Stormers and Cheetahs rugby player. The idea was simple: raise funds to support young rugby players who can’t afford tours, gear, or medical expenses.

This year, proceeds go to Klerksdorp High School (KHS), a school with a proud rugby tradition. KHS has produced several provincial players and last year alone had 104 learners earning provincial colours across sports, with 21 in rugby. The funds raised will help underprivileged learners with rugby potential access opportunities to chase their dreams.

Entertainment and Extras

Besides the racing, the crowd can look forward to live performances, stalls, and a proper day out. With bakkies flying down the strip, coolerboxes full (after the fee, of course), and rugby as the heart of the cause, it’s set to be another memorable day at Boere Boss.

The Boere Boss Plaas Drags are more than just a day of bakkies kicking up dust and bragging rights settled on the strip. It’s a community event with a purpose: raising funds to help young rugby players who might otherwise never get the chance to tour, compete, and grow in the sport. With racing, music, food, and a good cause at its heart, it’s shaping up to be a proper South African day out where speed meets solidarity.
