More than 2,000 athletes from 30 countries will converge at the UB Stadium in Gaborone tomorrow for the start of the Africa Junior Athletics Championships (AJAC).

The Local Organising Committee (LOC) president, Solly Reikeletseng, said it is all systems go after months of intense preparations. Initially, the tournament was supposed to be held at the National Stadium, which is still under renovation.

Reikeletseng said despite the challenges, they are confident of hosting a successful tournament. "Obviously, there will always be problems. On Monday, we had a problem with accommodation because some countries had arrived earlier than expected, but that was sorted out," he explained. "We know we will make it. We did our best to renovate the UB Stadium to suit the event," he stressed. The stadium was closed three weeks ago to make last minute preparations for the continental event.
