Netball Proteas avoid Banyana drama by keeping WorldCup incentives quiet .Netball_SA president Cecilia Molokwane said team members have concluded their incentive package with the association.
Netball South Africa president Cecilia Molokwane said team members, who start their 2023 Netball World Cup with a clash against Wales in Cape Town on Friday , have concluded their incentive package with the association.
However, she said NSA will not disclose the financial agreements it has with the players, who take on Sri Lanka and tournament dark horses Jamaica in the preliminary stage.“We are not going to announce anything because we learnt from our own past mistakes,” Molokwane said. “In Liverpool [at the 2019 World Cup], you all know we announced that if they got to the semifinals and won the tournament they would get R1m each. I think they concentrated more on the million than playing the matches.“We have spoken to them and there will be incentives for the ladies — we gave them incentives in 2019 when they finished fourth. So for now, let’s keep it to ourselves.“The most important announcement I want to make is that they must get on that court and end up on the podium.
“The importance of winning the opening match is giving hope to the country, for people to say we are following a winning team. When you lose your first game on home soil, it demoralises the people.“If we lose the first game, people will start saying what is the use of watching the next game, will they go to the quarterfinal. A first win gives hope and the sense that you can’t mess with a snake in its hole.
