The Rotary Club of Kimberley, South Africa was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Bloemfontein (South Africa) in the early 1950's.

The Rotary Club of Kimberley is a member of Rotary International and is one of the 50 or so clubs constituting Rotary District 9320 (Southern Africa). District 9320 (±250,000 sq km) encompasses part of  South Africa as well as the entire Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho - hence the use of the term "Southern Africa" rather than just "South Africa".

Like every other Rotary Club around the world, The Rotary Club of Kimberley is governed by a Board of Directors which is elected annually by our own members.  It is one of the fundamentals of Rotary that - so far as is possible - membership of the Board should change each year.
