South Africa International

The South Africa International are the open international championships of South Africa in badminton . They have been held since 1948, making them the oldest badminton championship in Africa. In the first decades of the competition there was no distinction between national and open championships . It was not until the 1980s that the two championships were separated. The South Africa International is one of the most important championships in Africa , alongside the African Championships and the African Games . Only Kenya International , Nigeria International and Mauritius International have a similar significance in Africa .
