Webster Astro

Makhanda's student population—drawn largely from Rhodes University—has shaped what sports infrastructure matters in this town. Astroturf courts serve a specific need: they're used hard by hockey players, netballers, and tennis enthusiasts who need consistent, all-weather surfaces that don't depend on rain or seasonal maintenance cycles. Webster Astro sits within that local sports ecosystem where university players, school teams, and community members share court time. The astroturf category itself reflects how Makhanda's economy and population density support and depend on university-linked facilities that wouldn't exist in a smaller town.
