GABORONE, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Botswana will host the African Netball Cup from November 26 to December 6 at the University of Botswana Indoor Facility, the Botswana Netball Association (BONA) said on Wednesday.
The announcement comes after the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) reconsidered BONA's request for permission to host the tournament on the basis that BONA, with the commission's assistance, obtained sponsorship amounting to 300,000 Pula (about 22,411 U.S. dollars) from Okavango Diamond Company for the hosting of the events.
The competition is expected to draw the greatest netball players from across the continent, including Botswana, South Africa, Malawi, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana and Burundi. ■
