In 1956, South Africa hosted a touring England. The tour featured a series of three Tests, with England winning all three.[1][2] In 1959 South Africa toured England for the first time, winning 18 out of 25 matches. However, they once again lost all three Test matches against England.[1]

Netball World Cup

[edit]

South Africa made their World Netball Championships/Netball World Cup debut at the inaugural 1963 tournament. Despite victories over Scotland, the West Indies, Wales and Ceylon, they finished sixth.[3][4] In 1967 they were bronze medalists.[5] However, between 1971 and 1991, South Africa was unable to compete because of the sporting boycott during the apartheid era.[4][6] In 1995, South Africa returned and with an all-white team coached by Marlene Wagner, captained by Debbie Hamman and featuring Irene van Dyk and Elize Kotze, they finished as silver medalists. During the tournament they defeated both England and New Zealand before losing in the final to Australia. In 1996 Wagner, Hamman and van Dyk were all honoured by President Nelson Mandela personally.[4][6][7][8][9] South Africa hosted the 2023 Netball World Cup.[4][10][11][12][13]

African tournaments

[edit]

South Africa also competes in competitions against other African national teams. These include the Africa Netball Cup, the Diamond Challenge, tournaments at the All-Africa Games and Netball World Cup qualifiers.[69][70][71]

All-Africa Games

[edit]

At the 1995 World Netball Championships, South Africa had featured only white players. At the 1995 All-Africa Games, officials reguested that South Africa include six non-white players. This saw six members from the silver medal winning squad dropped and replaced. The six remaining white players subsequently withdrew on 1 September, protesting that the team was not selected by merit. So on 6 September a totally new squad was named.[8]
