Exhibit 31.1

Certification Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q

I, Clive Kabatznik, certify that:

1.       I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Silverstar
         Holdings, Ltd.;

2.       Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
         untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
         necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
         under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
         the period covered by this quarterly report;

3.       Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
         information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
         material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
         cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
         this quarterly report;

4.       I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls
         and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) and
         internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act
         Rules 13a015(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

a)       Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision,
         to ensure that material information relating to the registrant,
         including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to myself by
         others within those entities, particularly during the period in which
         this report is being prepared;

b)       Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
         internal control over financial reporting to be designed under my
         supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
         of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
         external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles;

c)       Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
         procedures and presented in this quarterly report my conclusions about
         the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the
         end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

d)       Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
         most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
         reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting; and

5.       I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal
         control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the
         audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons
         performing the equivalent functions):

a)       All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
         operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
         reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
         record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

b)       Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
         employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting.
