Zimbabwe’s national rugby team, the Sables, received a heroes’ welcome at the Robert Mugabe International Airport this evening as they returned home after their historic World Cup qualification at the Rugby Africa Cup held in Uganda last week.

Zimbabwe secured their spot in the World Cup by defeating arch-rivals Namibia 30-18 in a thrilling match on Saturday.

Zimbabwe last qualified for the World Cup tournament in 1991.

Leading the triumphant Sables is the Deputy Minister of Sports, Recreation, Arts, and Culture, Emily Jesaya, who was present in Uganda as the team made history.

The Sables were warmly welcomed by the Director of Sports Eugenia Chidhakwa, SRC Director-General Eltah Nengomasha, along with other officials from the Sports and Recreation Commission.

  1. Just to clarify, Zimbabwe did not qualify for the 1991 World Cup, the team was invited to participate. It didn’t go through a qualification process to take part in that event.
