Swimming Sa Find Themselves In The Deep End When It Comes To Geography

Swimming might make a splash when it comes to winning medals abroad for South Africa, but those running the sport locally crashed when it came to geography on Tuesday.

Swimming South Africa SSA, in its presentation to parliaments portfolio committee on sport, arts and culture on Tuesday, beat its chest over the performances of swimmers at events, including the 2024 African championships in the city of Lusaka in the wait for it nation of Angola.

It was quickly pointed out to the SSA delegation, which included CEO Shaun Adriaanse, a former schoolteacher, that they were in the deep end when it came to geographical matters.

That was in your presentation. Your presentation said Lusaka is in Angola, said DA MP Liam Jacobs, adding Lusaka is the capital of Zambia while Angolas capital is Luanda.

When he asked where it was held, SSA president Alan Fritz replied it was in Luanda, Angola.
