In a telephone interview yesterday, Zimta information officer Daisy Zambuko said they were wrapping up their preparations with the inter-provincial finals in Masvingo on Heroes’ Day.

“At least 150 teachers from Zimbabwe will participate at the SATO Games and we will have Team Zimta after our inter-provincial finals on August 11.
