Northern Cape South Africa

Are there any clubs or people out there in the Northern Cape that want to start a club and register. Chess is making a comeback in South Africa, especially seeing that the Freestyle GrandSlam final will be played in Cape town. I'm not good, but I'm learning and I would like to be part of a provincial group or club. There are clubs in most all provinces, but I can't seem to find one in Northern Cape. I'm also looking in opportunities to go to schools and promote chess to the youth. In the more remote areas, chess can offer much needed enjoyment in places where more modern games and facilities are not available. If there are any South Africans out there with the same passion and ambition to make a profit whilst enjoying the game you love and educating youth that have never heard of chess. Please feel free to reach out.
