The Motorcycle Association of the Western Cape (MAWC) was started in 1994, initially to co-ordinate events between motorcycle clubs and subsequently evolved into resolving and mediating disputes and conflicts between motorcycle clubs. It has since evolved into an Association that does a lot more. It now has a membership of over 50 clubs and is still growing.
The MAWC an NPC is the only nationally recognised council for organised biking in the Western Cape. The MAWC has extended part of its mandate to the Western Cape Bikers Task Team commonly referred to as the TT. The TT, under mandate from the MAWC, is a body made up of various club members (both affiliated and non-affiliated to the MAWC) who serve the biking clubs with disputes, conflict resolution and biking protocols at large. The TT has, over the years, made massive success in this space, being able to resolve issues within or between clubs.
Our aim is to unite and promote motorcyclists of all types. Together with the other regional associations we have formed a national body, South African National Bikers Alliance (SANBCA), to enable dialogue with the various Governmental Departments on issues that affect us. e.g. Safety and Toll roads. The Association is steered by an Exec Committee comprising nine individuals, all of whom belong to separate member clubs. This Committee is voted in biennially at an AGM, which is held in March.
