“Sporting activities under both NAPH and NASH are back with a bang, so the NAPH itinerary stands as follows; district competitions will be held on July 1 in Hwange while provincial competitions will be held from July 11 to 15.
“These competitions will be held in Bubi district at a venue to be advised.”
Nkomo also announced that the national competitions will this year be held in Matabeleland South between July 25 to 29, although the venue is yet to be confirmed.
He, however, said only four disciplines will take available in this year’s competitions which are netball, football, volleyball and basketball.
“l hope you will all appreciate that we are running out of time, so cluster chairpersons should ensure that cluster competitions are done by July 1 so that winning teams represent the cluster at district level,” Nkomo said.
