Short Story
Established in 1902, King Edward VII School is one of South Africa’s leading public boys’ schools, recognised for its academic excellence, strong sports culture, and deep community values. Guided by our motto, “STRENUE – With Zeal and Devotion”, the school has a long history of producing well-rounded young men who lead with integrity and passion.
The KES Rowing Club embodies this spirit through discipline, teamwork, and commitment — and the annual KES Regatta on the 17th January 2026 showcases these values in action.
The Soweto Rowing Club was formed in 1987 to bring rowing to underprivileged children in Soweto and to enable a healthy recreational activity for the youth who would otherwise not have access to the sport.
The challenge is purposeful. Every donation or pledge will help fund Trisuits for the Soweto Rowing Club and help promote Mental Health Awareness in South Africa.
