Of the She Cranes, gazelles and the mad men of Uganda’s sports

The Uganda national netball team, the She Cranes, have done more than almost anything to give this country a much-needed positive vibe. Time and again, and against tremendous odds, they have given their all to make us shine. And what do they get? Maybe a lousy lunch at the parliamentary canteen, and a few photo opportunities with the nation’s top-paid officials.

The She Cranes had previously been ranked sixth in the World Cup, but lost the position when they failed to play in the ranking games.
