The national netball team She Cranes of eleven players and technical team has been flagged off to South Africa for Afrcan Netball championship on Monday at NCS headquarters Lugogo by NCS board member Mr Zubairu Galiwango.
The players weren’t happy by the looks, traveling to represent the country and also defend the title without allowances.
But according to Zubail Galiwango, the team has been well facilitated according to the budget that was given to the NCS and according to money they supposed to get he doens’t think that there is any problem.
