Botswana will host the African Netball Cup from Nov. 26 to Dec. 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.
This is on the basis that BONA, with the commission’s assistance, obtained sponsorship amounting to 300,000 Pula ($22,411).
