As part of And1 Africa’s efforts to show its support to the ever-growing sport of women’s basketball in Africa whilst promoting and strengthening the brand presence there, the Girls Basketball Tournament will go on a nationwide tour starting this July 7-8. 2012 in Durban Girls High School (8AM-6PM on both days).  They have already previously sponsored a Girls 3-on-3 Streetball Tournament last April in Johannesburg, South Africa (click HERE for the related blog article) and with the positive response that they got, it looks like the first-ever nationwide tour is officially on.


According to Bibi Moeketsi, a one page advertorial is due to be published in their locally circulated hip hop magazine called “I Speak Hip Hop” within this month.  I’ve posted a soft copy of the promotional material below.

I’ll get more information in the next few days and will post updates about age groups (most likely four different divisions - Girls Under 19, Under 16, Under 14, and Under 12 – which was used during the 1st 3-on-3 run), prizes, registration fees, sponsors, and the artists who are set to perform during the 2-day event.  I’m assuming that this tour might also include Bloemfontein and Cape Town in Africa basing from the initial blog article that I posted, details of which were provided by Bibi and Ricky last time.
