Tough test for netball side in tri-nations tourney

South Africa is ranked sixth in the world and start as favourites. Botswana netball is on the rise following qualification to the World Championships to be held in Singapore in June.

The Botswana Netball Association (BONA) named a 14-member squad which includes respected defender, Florah Keeditse and wing attacker, Kelebogile Mangole, both of TASC. The evergreen Keeditse is largely credited for keeping attackers at bay during the World Championship qualifiers in Durban, South Africa last year. She is renowned for quickly closing down shooters with her aggressive style.
