Netball South Africa announced the squads this past weekend during the conclusion of the 2020 Spar National Netball championships that took place at Bela-Bela from 6-12 December. Jessica du Plessis, Monique Reyneke and Didintle Keebine was chosen for the senior team whilst, Adivhaho Tshivhihauvi, Elmere van der Berg, Kailah Ferreria and Lucy Strydom was included in the national u.21 squad.

Here are the full squads:

The final of the 2020 Spar National Championships though did not go to plan for the Dr. Kenneth Kaunda team as they narrowly lost 44-39 against a strong Tshwane team. Tshwane were the defending champions coming into the tournament, with a large number of players also having tasted success with the Gauteng Jaguars during the Telkom Netball League this year.

The Dr. Kenneth Kaunda team can be proud of their efforts during the tournament as they showed grit and determination throughout during the week, just coming up short at the final hurdle.
