Africa Netball accused of botched elections

Despite Africa Netball having 14 members, the just-concluded elections saw the reinstatement of the previous board, with only seven members participating as voting members. Notably, Botswana (Malebo Raditladi-Nkgakile), South Africa (Cecilia Molokwane), Namibia (Rebekka Goagoses), Kenya (Immaculate Kabutha), and Zambia (Martha Sichone) were the sole attendees at the AGM and exercised their votes.

A source told MmegiSport that the five countries voted in unison, each choosing other contenders. Consequently, all candidates received 5/7 votes, highlighting a curious dynamic in the electoral process. Meanwhile, the president of Zimbabwe Netball, Leticia Chipandu, withdrew from the presidential race, adding intrigue to the unfolding events.
