Curtain comes down Africa Netball Cup

Botswana was awarded the rights to host the continental flagship tournament in August after Uganda decided to withdraw their bid. However, the Botswana Netball Association (BONA) had a difficult time convincing the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) to permit them to host.

The bone of contention was that BONA had not followed the hosting policy and the competition was not budgeted for After the uncertainty to host, BONA was given the green light by BNSC after securing a P300,000 sponsorship from Okavango Diamond Company.
