No Longer On The Sidelines
Forbes Woman Africa
|March - May 2019
The South African netball team led by Bongi Msomi is working towards becoming one of the world’s best.
NATIONAL TEAM CAPTAIN Bongi Msomi has become a great ambassador for South African netball as she continues to make waves ahead of the World Cup in England later this year, becoming a role model in a sport that has wide participation among women in the country.
Msomi took up netball late, and quite by chance, but has risen to become a top international player, having turned her passion for the sport into a career.
She has played professionally in England and Australia, and has been part of the senior national team set-up since 2011, becoming a key cog in their rise to number five in the world rankings.
It has been a meteoric rise and an unexpected one at that, but Msomi is proud of her achievements, and feels there is more to come.
“I only started playing netball in Grade 11 when I was 16 years old and it all happened by accident,” Msomi tells FORBES WOMAN AFRICA from her base in England, where she currently plays for Wasps.
“I was at Luthayi High School [in Hammarsdale, KwaZulu-Natal] and went to watch one of the training sessions as some of the girls from my township played in the team. I had no interest in netball at all though.

Why The Richest And Most Powerful Go To Davos
For years, I’ve been a silent observer of the World Economic Forum (WEF), reading about it on the internet, editing reams of copy on it or watching it on TV. But one question has always remained in my mind.
