The Section for the disabled anglers was established during 2015.

The Section started off by having social competitions for the disabled anglers at different venues in South Africa.

The Section was specifically established for anglers whom have a physical or mental impairment of disability.

Some of the anglers are being assisted by assistants/guides and others compete on their own accord if they are able to do so.

The angling Section for the disabled members is currently only focussing on the bank angling discipline.

The anglers are thus competing against one another according to the SAFBAF Bank Angling rules. There are some unique changes in the rules which apply to this Section.
