“We are very confident in the teams that have been assembled by both coaches. While the attention may be on the SPAR Proteas, we cannot downplay the importance of having the President’s XII in this competition,” said Cecilia Molokwane, Netball South Africa President.
“The more players we have competing at this level the better because then we will have a bigger pool of players who are playing at the highest level.”
The Zimbabwe and Scotland national teams will be competing in the competition following the withdrawal of Malawi. The SA President’s XII team has been roped in and will play invitational matches against all the participating teams.

“This series will be a great build-up towards the Quad series in January – as I have not coached the team since World Cup 2019 in Liverpool. It will give me the opportunity to look at new players that have been selected under pressure, they are currently out training and working with intensity,” said SPAR Proteas Head Coach Norma Plummer.
Dumisani Chauke and Nichole Cusack will flank Plummer as her assistants during the tournament. The SA President’s XII team will be coached by Sameshia Esau and assisted by Elsunet du Plessis.
