JUBA – South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir Mayardit on Monday praised his country’s basketball team following unprecedented consecutive wins against three African teams including African champions Tunisia.

South Sudan on Sunday evening defeated Cameroon 67-56, to maintain their lead to secure a ticket to the 2nd round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualifiers, after having defeated Rwanda and Tunisia the previous day.
