Basketball Scam to get foreign players to South Africa

September 5, 2010 in News, Other

Over the last couple of weeks, Mybasketball has received a number of enquiries from players from overseas wanting to know about the Professional League in South Africa. This article is mainly to give such players and anyone else affected by such a scam the real story.

HERE ARE THE FACTS:

  1. There is NO PROFESSIONAL League in South Africa and there hasn’t been one for years.
  2. The name Myles Delport is being used to give legitimacy to the scam
  3. Kwazulu Marlins name is also used to legitimize the whole saga.
  4. <kwazulumarlinsbasketballteam@gmail.com> (CONMAN EMAIL ADDRESS)
  5. topfameoverseabasketball7@gmail.com (CONMAN EMAIL ADDRESS)

Ashraf tournament 2010 low down

April 27, 2010 in Other

Last week Wits University remembered one of its fallen heroes with the annual Ashraf tournament. For the first time in a long time the tournament was very well attended, maybe an indication that the basketball public and players are starving for some local action in Gauteng.

Some of the interesting clashes in the preliminary rounds of the tournament included the game between Wanderers Scorpions vs. Soweto Raptors (Ladies) and TUT Limpopo vs. UJ (Men). Scorpions looked like a totally revamped team that can now challenge some of their more renowned opponents and they beat Raptors by 4 points with Emma Ledwaba doing the business down the line. In the men section, TUT Limpopo almost upset UJ with a close encounter that could have gone either way.
