Netball South Africa faces election uncertainty over president's suspension
Netball South Africa's quadrennial elections on 25 October 2025 are clouded by the suspension of president Cecilia Molokwane by World Netball. The global body initiated disciplinary proceedings in April 2025, with a hearing ongoing that may not conclude until early 2026. This has sparked debates on whether the vote should proceed without her involvement.
