South Africa national basketball team is the basketball team that represents South Africa in international competitions.[2] The governing body of the team is Basketball South Africa.
Team South Africa is one of FIBA's youngest members, as it joined in 1992, yet it has qualified for every FIBA Africa Championship between 1997 and 2011.
Recently, South Africa has not been active at international competitions as the federation had withdrawn for several qualification competitions. The last games by the men's team were in 2017.[3]
