The tournament was open to female teams as well.
KwaThema Wolves coach Sipho Nkosi says: “The team has so much potential. What is limiting us at the moment is the court we use for practice. Because it is not fully structured we only use it as a half court.
“The community doesn’t respect us as well, because while we practise, they just pass through the court, which is disturbing,” says Nkosi.
