25 August 2025- Netball South Africa (NSA) said it has partnered with the Zimbabwe Netball Association (ZINA) to enhance netball in Zimbabwe through targeted administrative workshops and training programs. NSA said a team from South Africa will travel to Zimbabwe to share their expertise in various facets of the sport.
NSA spokesperson, Karabo Mokgalagadi said these workshops will cover essential topics, including a Structural Course, Team Managers Course, Technical Officials Course, Umpires Course, and Coaches Course. Experienced professionals from NSA, including Claudine Classen, Magriet Bester, Adrian Abrahams, and Marchelle Maroun, will lead the sessions. Mokgalagadi said the Structural Workshop focuses on reviewing and improving ZINA’s organisational frameworks, equipping administrators with the skills and tools needed to excel in their roles.
“Coaches, technical officials, and umpires will also engage in specialised training sessions designed to enhance their competencies, further strengthening the sport in Zimbabwe.
“This initiative reflects NSA’s commitment to regional collaboration and capacity building. It builds on a history of partnership, including the Zimbabwe Under-21 National Team, known as the Zambezi Eagles, participating in the 2025 Telkom Netball League (TNL),” she said.
Mokgalagadi further said the workshops are scheduled for 27 until 31 August 2025. She added that this partnership aligns with African Union initiatives aimed at uniting and growing sports across the continent.
