“From our end, we would just like to invite all basketball fans to come and attend. Entrance is free. There will be lots of activities even for MTN customers to win prizes such as data bundles, free airtime, saver combos and also MTN merchandise,” she said.

This is the first year that MTN has sponsored the league and the total sponsorship package is E250 000. Games will play on both Saturday and Sunday, but the main event is on Saturday. Games start at 9am on Saturday.
