THE Harare Basketball Association (HBA) 2018/19 is set to kick off this weekend following a meeting of club representatives a fortnight ago.

HBA had been scheduled to start in the first weekend of this month, but was delayed because of a stand-off among clubs over affiliation fees.
HBA president Sunny Mbofana admitted that last season they faced a number of challenges.
“We had challenges the previous season and I am very optimistic the season before us is different and exciting.
There is potential in this league and with a unity of purpose, I see the league becoming even bigger,” he said.
