Chawinga-Kalua: We need to play more games

Uganda, a rising netball force in Africa, has dropped from seventh to eighth.

But in an interview yestersday, Chawinga-Kalua is wary of Tonga Republic

“We are there, but we need to play more games to survive, otherwise we will go down as well. The difference with Tonga is not much and if Tonga plays more games then the position six is gone. To go tops in rank, you need to play more games, that’s it,” she said.

African teams rankings are South Africa (5), Malawi (6), Uganda (8), Zimbabwe (13), Zambia (16), Namibia (23), Botswana (24), e-Swatini (28), Kenya (35),Tanzania (40) and Lesotho (43).
