The Ugandan faithful, who badly needed the victory just as the players and the coaches, took to social media to shower them in deserving praises.

Uganda has become the best netballing country in Africa, dethroning South Africa in a tightly contested World Cup affair at the Cape Town International Conventional Center.

The She Cranes edged the Proteas 49-47 on Sunday to rank fifth globally and thus assume topspot on the continent.

The Ugandan faithful, who badly needed the victory just as the players and the coaches, took to social media to shower them in deserving praises.

It was an even sweeter victory given the fact that it was against the hosts, who had actually beaten Uganda earlier in the week 52-50.

This was She Cranes' best finish at a World Cup after making seventh, eighth and 13th in 2019 (England), 2015 (Australia) and 1979 in Trinidad and Tobago.
