Government welcomes the news that South Africa has won the rights to host the 16th staging of the Netball World Cup in 2023 which will take place in Cape Town. Being the host country is a monumental moment for South Africa as it is the first time the Netball World Cup will be held in Africa. African countries play a leading role in the top 20 International Netball Federation world ranking.
Government calls on all citizens and sectors including business, labour, academic, faith-based organisations and NGOs to heed the call made by President Cyril Ramaphosa during the State of the Nation Address, which seeks to galvanize all South Africans to join hands with government to clean-up the country and contribute to solving the global and national environmental challenges.
