Bladez Cue Sport Academy was founded in 2024 with a singular vision: to establish a world-class billiards training facility in Vereeniging that serves both elite competitors and the broader community.
Housed at Zarebas Pub on Joubert Street, our academy features professional-grade tables, certified coaching staff, and a programme designed to develop players at every skill level — from complete beginners to tournament contenders.
Bladez Cue Sport Academy is formally registered as a Non-Profit Organisation and Public Benefit Organisation in South Africa — meaning every contribution supports verified community development, and qualifying donors receive section 18A tax benefits.
We hold ourselves to the highest standard in coaching, facility management, and player development.
We are rooted in Vereeniging and committed to giving back through outreach, bursaries, and youth programmes.
Fair play on and off the table — our tournaments are governed by Billiards SA rules and professional officiating.
We celebrate every milestone, from a first frame won to a national championship title.
Founder of Bladez and a lifelong cue sportsman, Bennie has coached players from first break to provincial level. He leads the academy's elite and tournament programmes.
Lerato heads up the academy's NPO youth and community programmes, introducing the next generation of Vaal Triangle players to the game.
