Msomi relishes reuniting with Proteas with Netball World Cup weeks away: South African netball captain Bongi Msomi admits if someone told her 16-year-old self she would compete at four editions of the Netball World Cup she would have laughed at them.
Stepping onto a netball court for the first time as a teenager, the now 35-year-old also never have envisioned she would one day lead her side to a first Netball World Cup on home soil.
“TNL has been good for us. One has to be match fit and have competition before heading to the final preps for the World Cup and that's what we were getting,” said Msomi.“It is huge that the World Cup is coming to our home soil and to be part of it is exciting. “I've learnt to understand I never have to do it all alone, or even have to feel like I'm alone or have to do all the work,” she said.“That alone comes with a lot of clarity and learning, which helps me so much — to be selfless and brave but also to understand my capabilities, be confident in myself and the people I lead.” “I bring a sense of calmness in my approach, maturity, experience, respect and undeniable passion for what I do,” she said.
