The Judo Association of Zimbabwe hosted a two day competition in Harare on 23rd and 24th September 2022. More than 200 judoka took part in the event including the local Judo for Peace Team from the Tongogara Refugee Camp, who brought children and seniors to participate.
The Judo Association of Zimbabwe (JAZ) joined the family of federations supporting refugees around the planet. In the turmoil of the global refugee crisis, that counts more than 82 million people who had to flee from their homes all over the world, Zimbabwe was inspired by other regional judo associations such as Zambia and Malawi whom have already established the sport in refugee camps successfully.
