Early this year, Bravehearts defended the Ashraf Lodewyk Memorial Basketball Tournament following a 71-61 victory over Sparks in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Bravehearts Ladies are also using the South Africa tournament to prepare for this year’s Bravehearts Invitational Basketball tournament later this month.
The tournament will take place at African Bible College in Lilongwe.
Currently, five teams in the ladies’ category have registered to take part in the tournament.
The teams are Ark Angels, CDHIB (both Malawi), MMB (South Africa), Las Buganvillias from Mozambique and KPA from Kenya.
