The 2008 Thomas & Uber Cups Preliminaries for Africa were held in Rose Hill, Mauritius, between 17–21 February and organised by Mauritius Badminton Association. Kenya was scheduled to host the events, but domestic unrest has led to them being moved to Mauritius.[1][2] South Africa was the defending champion in men's and women's team events. This tournament serves as qualification stage for African countries for the 2008 Thomas & Uber Cup.[3]
