Following successful events in Alexandria, Egypt, this marked the first time the event was held on South African soil, drawing an enthusiastic crowd of around 1,500 basketball fans.
The weekend was filled with thrilling activities, including a high-energy 3-on-3 basketball tournament with attendees on the edge of their seats.
