Netball looks to end two-year hiatus

The Botswana Netball Association (BONA) has been invited to participate in the Pent Series to be held in Windhoek, Namibia from October 31 to November 5, 2021. Botswana is expected to line up against Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Kenya, Uganda and the hosts Namibia. The tournament that is organised by the Namibia Netball Association will be a curtain-raiser for the African Netball Cup that is to be held in Windhoek from November 9-16, 2021.

Speaking to Mmegi Sport, BONA public relations officer Mokereste Mokereste said the two tournaments are a starting point to the senior team’s preparations for the 2023 World Cup to be held in Cape Town, South Africa.
