Jukskei is a 282-year-old folk sport (Afrikaans: Boeresport) developed and played in South Africa.

Jukskei is believed to have originated around 1743 in the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa,[2] developed by "transport riders" who travelled with ox-drawn wagons.

[citation needed] Jukskei became an organised sport around the year 1939, when the first unions were established and rules were formalised.

Jukskei in South Africa is played at schools, club and provincial level, and there is an annual tournament in Kroonstad in the Free State.

The object of the game is to knock over a peg that is planted in a sandpit over a distance of between 10 and 16 m (depending on age and gender).
