We also want to help our lower ranked countries like Zimbabwe and Namibia,\u201d she said. The President also said Malawi Netball team will benefit much with the competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[It is] also to help Malawi regain its position 6 whcih they lost it to Uganda last year so this is a platform to help us get some points ahead of region 5 netball series in August. Malawi is also preparing for the Commonwealth games so we hope they will be helped, they will have good plans and prepare them for the games,\u201d said the COSANA President.<\/p>\n<p>The games start on 12 June 2022 with Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe taking part in the tournament. In the opening game at 10:00 am, Namibia play Zimbabwe before their Under 19 teams face each other at 04:00pm whereas at 06:00pm, Malawi Queens will play Namibia.
