In the ladies’ category UZ Sparks, Harare City Hornets, MSU Hawks, and JBC make up Group A, while Vixens, Lakers Mzansi, Bunnies, and NUST Phoenix are in Group B.
Southern Mavericks and Legends will represent Bulawayo in the men’s division while Lakers Mzani and Nust will represent the province in the ladies division.
