ONE of Zimbabwe’s most promising young swimmers, Nomvula Banele Mjimba, will lead a six-member team at the 14th CANA African Swimming Championships in Accra, Ghana, later this month.
The continental Senior and Junior Swimming Championships will run concurrently from October 11-17, at the Trust Sports Emporium.
The Zimbabwe Aquatic Union yesterday announced the team that will fly the country’s flag at this swimming jamboree.
Seniors swimmers Mjimba, Denilson Cyprianos and Liam O’Hara will be part of the team that also has a junior swimmer, Tichatonga Makaya.
Two other swimmers, Jayden de Swardt and Danielle Kuhuni, will represent Zimbabwe in the Open Water Championships.
They will be competing in the five-kilometre event on October 17.
Masi Takaedza has been appointed the team’s coach.
Mjimba, who has developed so much since she started representing the country a couple of years ago, will be expected to join the team from her base, in the United States.
She is now on a four-year swimming scholarship at Gannon University in Pennysylvania, United States, where she is studying for a Degree in Applied Sciences.
The promising swimmer has represented the country at different levels, including the 2019 African Games, in Morocco.
