JOHANNESBURG - The National Basketball Association and the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) today announced 80 of the top high-school-age prospects from across Africa who will participate in the 19th edition of Basketball Without Borders (BWB) Africa, which will be held July 28-31 at the American International School of Johannesburg (AISJ) in South Africa.īWB Africa 2023 will bring together 80 boys and girls from more than 25 African countries - including 19 NBA Academy Africa and NBA Academy Women’s Camp Africa 2022 prospects - to learn directly from current and former NBA, WNBA and FIBA players, legends and coaches and compete alongside their peers from across the continent. Rather, class divisions will be just as effective as apartheid in guaranteeing residential segregation.Cavs star Darius Garland is 1 of 4 current NBA players who will serve as a coach for Basketball Without Borders Africa 2023. To judge from Latin American experience, the dismantling of formal apartheid is unlikely to reduce levels of social segregation in Johannesburg. Semi-permanent residence means that residential movement within the city is increasingly similar to that typical in many Latin American cities. Many Sowetans’ lives do not fit the model of the `circular’ African migrant many have lived in Johannesburg for a long time. The paper observes that South African migrants are becoming more like Latin Americans in demonstrating a growing attachment to the city. Some of these similarities were apparent even before the demise of apartheid, a policy that was never consistent and changed many times. The paper shows that there are problems in drawing comparisons about migration and residential movement in Latin America and South Africa, but that there are growing signs of similarity.

Given similar levels of economic development and inequality, it seems strange that more effort has not been made by South Africans to learn from the earlier experience of urbanisation in countries such as Brazil, Chile and Colombia.
