The following is a quote from page 125:
"In South Afria sport has been organised so as to maintain and strengthen the pattern of racial stratification. In Consequence there has been increasing pressure furing the second half of this century to exclude South Africa from international sporting competition until such a time as its policy and practive should conform to the generally accepted code that no one should be excluded from sporting competition on the grounds of race and that everyone should have the opportunity to develop his full potential regardless of race." End quote.
Next quote also on page 125: "New Zealand has played a major role in the conflict over sports apartheid. New Zealand sports bodies have maintained their ties with their exclusively white South African counterparts and have become the target of sanctions by African countries."
Most of this cahpter focuses on Rugby but there are general sport references that apply to netball.

(
help)Now its netball Friday. Putting this here so that when I have a non-netbook to edit on, I can find it again and source it in the article. -- LauraHale ( talk) 19:20, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
I'd really love some assistance improving Netball in South Africa with the idea of getting it to good article status. The article is properly cited for what is there. Beyond that, it appears to have some major organisational issues, probably has some information that could be best done by summarising tables and some additional information that just needs to be removed. It could also probably use some additional information and a good copy edit for what is there. It's a decent article, but it could really use some love to get it up to standards to be nominated for GA. -- LauraHale ( talk) 08:25, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Apartheid was 1948-1994. So, there were "pre-Apartheid", "Apartheid", and "post Apartheid" periods. Yet, there's no pre-Apartheid section. However, uder the "Apartheid" section, the first sentence starts with "In the pre-Apartheid period". The Apartheid section covers years before and after 1948. I suspect there's some mistaken terminology, which conflates "pre-Apartheid" and "Apartheid". But, I can't access sources, and therefore have trouble doing anything. -- Rob ( talk) 07:37, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
