Compensation for the stupid draw and the bullshit rules of country quota. No guilty feelings here.

None of the Tanzanians on the entry list will be at the tournament, they couldn't find enough funding

 

And the worst part is that boxing is the only sport along with athletics where Tanzania actually has a chance for qualification!

Meanwhile, the 1st seed (Kenya) and 4th seed (Egypt) in men's -56 kg at the African qualification are out. So, one of Zambia, Ghana, Lesotho and Uganda will win the quota what is great for them. Maybe even two of them will get it.

 

Togo seems to be the only unqualified nation with a chance to grab its first quota here.

in this african tournament cameroon won all their matches i don't believe that

100% CHEATING

Lesotho (-52kg), Togo (-91kg) and Cape Verde (+91kg) are in semifinals.

 

Boxing seems to be developed in all parts of Africa.

Zambian boxers had to train in the hotel hallways because the Cameroonian organization had no training venue for them 

 

Reading a little it looks like this is a very typical African sports event in terms of organization (you know, the kind of organization that even a 3 year old child would do better).
