AT least 170 delegates are expected to converge in Kariba for a three-day annual sports management autumn camp which opens today.
The yearly symposium is organised by the Sport Leaders Institute of Zimbabwe.
“The second edition of the SLIZ annual autumn camp begins in Kariba tomorrow (today) and ends on Friday,’’ said SLIZ director Russell Mhiribidi.
“We are expecting plus or minus 170 delegates at the symposium. Participants are drawn from higher and tertiary institutions which is a very key area in which sport can be developed.
“We have a lot in terms of untapped talent in the country. We, unfortunately, fail to make significant strides in almost all sport codes.
“This is apparently because we are not doing enough to scout and develop the talent. The problem we have from the grassroots is that we are only concerned about aiming to do well in sport without doing sport well.
“That is one of the major reasons why we find a lot of cheating cases at the grassroots level but at the end of the day it is sport that suffers.’’
