Four Zimbabwean swimmers are through to different finals set to be held this Monday at the Bourteyman Aquatic Centre in Accra, as the 2023 African Games get to the business end.

Donata Katai will compete in the 100m and 50m backstroke final while gold medalist Denilson Cyprianos will also be competing in the men’s 50m backstroke.

Vhenekai Dhemba will showcase her talents in the 200m breaststroke while Liam Davis will compete for a medal in the men’s 200m breaststroke.

The 13th African Games will be running under the theme, “Experience the African Dream”.

The delayed 2023 African Games will have athletes from 52 nations participating in 30 disciplines, including eight Olympic qualifying sports, and around 5,000 athletes will compete for medals.

The African Games will conclude on March 23, 2024.

Marketing revenue and incomplete facilities led to the delays but organizers are now confident in the high standard of facilities and infrastructure.
