Basketball African League final to take place in Pretoria
Sunday World
|SW May 25 2025 edition
Basketball is probably one of the most unpopular sports in South Africa, unlike football, cricket and rugby, which are common in our communities.
And that is the very reason why Nkosinathi Sibanyoni went against the grain, opting to pursue a career in basketball.
Sibanyoni is currently in Kigali, Rwanda, where the 2025 Basketball African League (BAL) is being held.
The 27-year-old 2.08m tall centre plies his trade with Johannesburg-based side MBB (Made By Basketball), which is looking to make history and win the first BAL championship in SA on home soil. The play-offs and finals will be staged at the Sun Bet Arena in Pretoria in June.
