Athletics: A strong SA team to participate in the African Athletics Senior T&F Championships

# Athletics: A team of 34 South African athletes will compete at the African Athletics Senior Track & Field Championships in Accra, Ghana, next week. They include 100-metre runner Bradley Nkoana, 800-metre runner Prudence Sekgodiso, hurdlers Rogail Joseph and Marione Fourie, long jumpers Luvo Manyonga, Danielle Nolte, and javelin thrower Jana van Schalkwyk. Ten of the athletes have previously earned medals at the continental championships.
