Speaking during the Spar Women’s Netball National Championships that started in Cape Town this week, Maweni said playing league netball at the highest level has improved her game dramatically. “It is important for players, especially from a young age, to get more time on court against some of the best in the world because that also brings confidence.
“The other important thing is that when we come to the national team from Europe or New Zealand and Australia, we bring valuable experience and share it with some of the inexperienced members of the Proteas.” Maweni said the move to England with Team Bath was a surprise as she had planned to return home at the end of her time in Australia.
