HONEY ON THE TRACK TO STEAL A BRONZE

That Guy writes...

UNZA called and Sangwani answered. After being knocked out the tournament, the point guard rose to the occasion to help the 4 X 100m relay race without any track training for over a year.

The owners of the show; Mellan Mabenga, MAABO Machona and Mutinta Habeene completed the team.

When it seemed all was lost, 1-Basketballer, 1-400m athlete, 1-800m athlete and just 1-100m athlete rose as avengers.
What a brilliant group of misfits

What was going to be a forfeited race turned into a podium appearance. Congratulations girls🔥❤️

🥳🥳 RAINING BRONZE MEDALS 🥉

That Guy writes...

The Defending Champion trails by half a point to two Pharaohs at the end of the Rapid tournament.
This puts him in third position for a Bronze medal.

He looks to come back stronger tomorrow in the blitz category.
"They will fall" he says.

All the best and Congratulations Champ👑🔥🥉

🎾 UNZA TENNIS DUO BOW OUT TO EGYPT, HOSTS 🇿🇲🇪🇬

That Guy writes...

In an unfortunate turn of events, the UNZA Tennis duo has bowed out of the 12th All Africa University Games, falling to the host nation, Egypt. 🇪🇬
It may not have been the result we hoped for, but it was a good run for our players.

🎾 MEN’S TENNIS
Our Male Tennis Captain, Men’s UNZA Seed 1 and 5th-ranked national player, Nakalanga Hamayangwe, bowed out at the Quarter-Final stage after losing to Egypt’s Mahmoud Fathallah, the tournament’s No. 2 seed.

🎾 WOMEN’S TENNIS
Today, our Female Tennis Captain, Women’s UNZA Seed 1 and 2nd-ranked national player, Natasha Chewe, suffered a Semi-Final defeat to Egypt’s Hana Ehab Mokhles.
Natasha’s performance was made even more challenging by what is suspected to have been food poisoning.

Reflecting on her performance, Natasha said:
“I gave it away, I could have done better.”

Despite the setback and battling illness, Natasha has still managed to return home with a Bronze Medal, adding another accolade to an already impressive tennis career. 🥉🇿🇲

🏆 NEXT STOP: MIKA TENNIS TOURNAMENT
Natasha now returns home to prepare to defend her title at the Mika Tennis Tournament.

Both Nakalanga Hamayangwe and Natasha Margaret Chewe will be taking part, giving them another opportunity to compete at the highest level and represent UNZA. 🎾🔥

Not the ending we wanted. But the journey continues.
ONE TEAM. ONE DREAM. ONE UNZA🇿🇲💚

What a strong Start from our UNZA Athletics CLUB on a Continental stage.
📌In Heat , Exildah Kafwimbi records the best time of the entire category in the competition which turns out to be her first and personal best official time putting her through to the finals🔥.
📌Mellan Mabenga placed 3rd in the second heat, just about a second shy of her PB recorded at CUCSA Gaborone 2026 clear indication she's still in good form and ready for the final.
📌In the same heat as Exildah, MAABO managed to record of 63.3s and placed 4. Unfortunately her 400m campaign closes. However she's looking to come back stronger later today in the women's 100m dash Semi-final.
📌Peter Monga, also, in the Fastest Heat places 4th with a time that has granted him a place in the 100m men's Semi-finals

Still to come;
Our outgoing Sports Secretary, The Terminator, Mutinta Habeene will be taking the stage for her 800m dash
MAABO will also be looking to come back and run the 100m dash.
