South Africa has applied to enter next fall’s All-Africa Games in Cairo and offered to help finance them, according to Abdel-Moneim Emara, the head of the event’s Egyptian organizing committee.
Emara said the decision must come from the Organization of African Unity, which boycotts South Africa because of its racial segregation.
Emara said members of the Senegal-based African High Council for Youth and Sports, an arm of the OAU, will meet a delegation from South Africa to discuss the request.
