South Africa head into the tournament as defending champions after a dominant campaign in the previous edition. The Springbok Women sealed the continental title with a commanding 61-17 victory over hosts Madagascar at Stade Makis in Antananarivo, completing a perfect run of three wins from three matches.
Kenya Lionesses finished second in that competition and will be aiming to go one better on home soil.
