dc.description.abstractThis paper describes an indigenous game, mngqwayi, a stick throwing game of the Kalanga people of Zimbabwe. Participation in traditional indigenous games by communities improves their quality of life by supporting self-determined sports, games and cultural activities, which encourages equal access to participation in the social and cultural fabric of the communities. Data was collected from a population of the Kalanga people of Zimbabwe. Focus Group Discussions, individual interviews, demonstrations, observations, visual recordings and audio recordings assisted in capturing of physical skills, techniques and game patterns. Players, mostly boys, played the game in summer on grasslands and riverbanks, used long slender sticks blunt at one end and aerodynamically sharpened at the other end, with the object of having the stick icochet, slide on the ground or traject off the ground for some distance. Competence is premised on power, skill and technique, from which, mngqwayi can be classified as a game of physical skill. The physical and cultural appeal of this game makes it ideal for sportification and institutionalization.en_US
