The Netball World Cup has been rocked by player security fears with West Coast Fever and Jamaica superstar Jhaniele Fowler robbed in South Africa.

The 34-year-old goal shooter took to social media to share that she had money take from her wallet and that people had been trying to break into their rooms.

“This is so unfortunate, this place isn’t safe,” Fowler wrote on Instagram

“First they stole money from my purse, now people trying to come in on us in our rooms. Really!”

Jamaica are among the favourites to win the World Cup and Fowler is tipped to be one of the standout players.

Asked how the side’s preparations were going just days before the alleged robbery, Fowler said: “We’re just focused on gelling as a team.

“Our aim is to be here til the end and be on that podium but we have to take it one game at a time.

“My mindset and mentality is to just go out there and be strong, be the dominant force that I am.”

Cape Town is playing host to the 10-day event which gets underway tomorrow (Friday) with New Zealand taking on Trinidad and Tobago the first clash.

It is the first time the Netball World Cup has been staged in Africa.

The Diamonds are not staying in the same hotel as Jamaica and have their own security team on the ground with them.
