“It’s raining medals and Personal Best (PBs) times for Eswatini at the CANA Zone IV Championships and it comes as no surprise, these athletes spent two weeks in camp, away from the comfort of their homes to prepare for their victory. We are very proud of our athletes for displaying true sportsmanship, even if champions aren’t born, they sure can be built,” she said.

Team Eswatini currently has 11 medals and 22 PB times in the competition which will end tomorrow.
The event features teams from around the region, compromising of boys and girls aged 11 years and older in different categories.
