Commonwealth Games appearances (overview)

South Africa competed at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England from 28 July to 8 August 2022.[1] It was South Africa's 14th appearance at the Commonwealth Games.

Para-swimmer Christian Sadie and netballer Bongiwe Msomi were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony.[2]

Durban initially secured the hosting rights after Edmonton withdrew from the bidding contest, which would have led to the Games being hosted on African soil for the first time.[3][4] However, the South African government subsequently claimed it would not be possible to host the Games because of financial constraints;[5] as a result, the CGF stripped Durban of their hosting rights in March 2017.[6]

Having qualified through the World Para Athletics World Rankings (for performances registered between 31 December 2020 and 25 April 2022), seven para athletes were selected as of 8 June 2022.[7][8]

Another two para athletes and twenty-six athletes were added to the squad on 4 July 2022.[9] Luxolo Adams and Shaun Maswanganyi pulled out of the squad after suffering injuries in the World Athletics Championships.[10][11] Sprinters Clarence Munyai and Emile Erasmus, pole vaulter Kyle Rademeyer and 400m runner Zakhiti Nene had to withdraw due to displaying COVID-19 symptoms.[12] Some athletes also couldn't make it due to transportation errors.
