The boys’ volleyball team soundly beat South Africa to win the gold medal.

According to the Ministry of Youth, Sports, Arts and Recreation, the Volleyball team has become the first Zimbabwean of the discipline to win gold since the inception of the AUSC Region 5 sports extravaganza.

"#OneTeamOneSpirit They came, played, conquered and broke records!!! The future is bright," said the Ministry on their Twitter handle.

Linnete Zemba won a gold medal in the 100-meter hurdle event and has qualified for Africa Games 2023.
