SABC Sport can confirm that the final Telkom Netball League match day four fixture between Gauteng Jaguars and Zambezi Eagles has been cancelled without explanation from Netball South Africa.
As earlier reported by the public broadcaster, there was a cloud hanging around the continuation of this much anticipated fixture.
This after a formal complaint from the Jags to NSA, stating that they are unhappy with living conditions at Sun City, highlighting issues around unstable accommodation since the inception of the tournament on Saturday.
The public broadcaster understands that the team had challenges checking on arrival because they were not formally booked into one of the hotels at the host venue, and were left stranded having to check-in and out of loan rooms in the past three days.
Furthermore, this morning the team departed for their game which was scheduled for 09:00 against the Baby Proteas, only to return to rooms that were checked out already, and remained stranded for hours - and ending up failing to thoroughly prepare for their second and last match of the day, which was scheduled to take place at 19:00 this evening.
