THE BIG INTERVIEW: Cecilia Molokwane proud as netball grows in Africa

Grant Pitcher/ Gallo Images

Netball South Africa, the federation that runs the sport, was crowned the Federation of the Year, while its president, Cecilia Molokwane, won the Administrator of the Year prize. "While it's big to be the first country on the continent to host the world cup, along with that comes the capacity to grow the sport near and far.

Molokwane's love affair with netball bloomed in the dusty streets of Polokwane, where her height and forceful personality opened doors, but her resilience and formidable bond with her late husband saw her to the peak. "Honestly, never in my wildest dreams did I think I could be the president of NSA. Coaching I could see, since I always wanted to make a difference. There were a lot of down moments and being left out of the 1996 under-21 World Cup squad still hurts the most and could have killed any passion and desire, but I persevered, thanks to my husband. Adversity was preparing me to be the leader I am today.
