Nashief Hendricks started gaming in 1999 by just playing with friends at LANs. Then in 2005 he and a few friends started Clan ASF.
After 2007 Nashief took a break from gaming and got married. He returned to gaming in 2009.
Upon Nashief’;s return to gaming in 2009 he restarted Clan ASF. The Clan now has 57 members playing StarCraft 2, dota2, cod4 and battlefield 3, and is sponsored by Gigabyte, ECS Elite Group. Afrihost and Gamezone.
By being elected into the position of Provincial Director, Nashief is confident that the can successfully use the position together with MWEB’;s Gamers in Beta (GiB) program to grow the online gaming community and get more competitive gamers.
To this end, Nashief is also in the process of opening up a training academy. The academy is for all gamers and non-gamers that would like to learn the game to come in and play games like (cod4, BF3, SC2, CS, MW3).
In line with Nashief’;s firm beliefs in growing the community, the training academy will be free to the community and will also host LAN parties and other get-togethers. There will be hands on trainers at the centres for both PC and console gaming, and it is hoped that the centres will do much to encourage both the advantaged and financially disadvantaged to take up gaming on an equal footing.
With Nashief at the head of gaming in the Western Cape Province, it seems as though the province is going to become the powerhouse of South African gaming!
