Cape Town - Paralympic veteran and team flag bearer Zanele Situ threw an eighth Team South Africa medal into the kitty at the Rio Paralympics on Tuesday evening.
Situ, who is now experiencing her fifth Paralympics, having already medalled in Sydney (2000) and Athens (2004), took bronze in the F54 javelin final with a personal best of 17.90m.
According to the official SASCOC website, Situ was showing close to her best form while tuning up at a few European meetings.
It was an all-African podium in her event as Nigeria’s Flora Ugwuna took gold in a world record 20.25m, while Tunisia’s Hania Aidi also had a personal best with an 18.88m effort.
Situ broke her 12-year Olympic medal drought by claiming her fourth Paralympic medal.
Going into Wednesday’s action Team SA had slipped down the medals table, from 19th to 23rd.
