TIME PUBLISHED - Saturday, September 17, 2011, 2:14 pm
Zambia collected its second medal at the All Africa Games on Friday with victory in the chess event.
And the Judo team got off to the worse possible start in their campaign with two of the six-member contingent bowing out.
Daniel Jere won an individual silver in the chess tournament where Zamba finished 4th behind Angola on bronze, South Africa on silver and Egypt on gold in the team event.
Meanwhile back on the judo mat, Judokas Boaz Munyonga and Malama Mpilikisha have been ejected from All Africa Games in what is Zambia last interest at the All Africa Games before the curtains come down on Sunday.
Munyonga missed out on bronze after losing to Nigerian Jude Solomon in the 81 Kg class while Mpilikisha lost to Bernard Etoga of Cameroon in the 66 Kg class.
Zambia’s final medal hopes at the All Africa Games now lie in Mathews Mpunza and Joshua Kanjemba in the men’s judo event and Esther Sandu and Rita Tembo in their women’s judo event.
