Africa To Host Netball World Cup by zhike: 9:33am On Mar 08, 2019
Netball South Africa (NSA) president Cecilia Molokwane had to fight back tears as mixed emotions swirled after Cape Town was named as host city for the 2023 Netball World Cup.

Molokwane suffered a personal tragedy just a few weeks ago when her husband was killed in a car accident.

Jumping up and down and screaming in celebration when International Netball Federation (INF) president Molly Rhone made the announcement seemed inappropriate for her‚ despite the sensational news.

The sport’s flagship event will come to Africa for the first time since its inception in 1963 and will inject at least R2bn in revenue into the local and national economy.

When set aside against an estimated budget of R68 million to stage the event‚ the economic benefits appear even more significant than the legacy and profile benefits for the sports itself.

Beat New Zealand to it. Great uplifting news for SA, been depressing here for a while cheesy

I read somewhere that 6 out of the Top20 netball nations are African. So real prospect they will perform well on a tournament hosted on home soil, or even win the thing.

First we have to bid, it won't be handed to us on a silver platter. Just look at SA taking on developed countries with no fear

Well done to South Africa is making Africa proud. I also wish that one of African nation could win this tournament.
