ZIMBABWE teachers have described the recently ended Southern African Teachers Organisation (Sato) games in Swaziland as a learning curve.
The Sato games are held annually and bring together teams from different countries in the Southern Africa region. Zimta public relations officer Dazzy Zambuko said the games were a social interactive meant to share solidarity notes and discussing issues that affect pupils’ involvement in sport.
“The games are social and therefore not competitive. They are meant to provide a platform to share knowledge among teachers from Southern Africa. The teachers share notes on strategies to encourage pupils’ participation in sports,” said Zambuko.
More than 100 teachers from Zimbabwe participated in the games in disciplines such as netball, volleyball, darts, table tennis and athletics.
Zambuko said they hope to send more representatives to the 2014 games that will be held in Zambia.
The Zimbabwe netball team came second after losing to Botswana in the final with the soccer team dropping out in the quarter-final stage after being trounced 5-0 by South Africa.
