Future Olympic stars will be hoping to gain valuable experience during the African Games which are taking place in Ghana.
The two-week competition in Ghana, which features 16 sports, is an ideal opportunity for athletes to gain international experience.
The African Games is under way in Ghana, and South Africans are already raking in medals, but you'd be forgiven if you didn't even know it was happening. As useful as it is as a stepping stone event, the truth is that the African Games provides little more than a top-flight development platform, and therefore it gets little attention.
And the African Games, much like the Commonwealth Games, is notorious for local organising committees delivering less than desirable living conditions and competition facilities on limited budgets.
