This year edition of the Commissioner General Sports gala coincides with the Southern Africa Police Chiefs Cooperation Organisation games to be held in Swaziland later in the year in august.

Competition for the positions to represent the Zimbabwe Republic Police contingent to partake in the SARPCCO games was highlight of the tournament. The CGP sports gala also saw the introduction of swimming for the first time among a host of the traditional sporting disciplines which are competed for yearly.

Zimbabwe Republic Police holds the SARPCCO sports trophy a record three times and winning it in Swaziland this year will make it a historic feat never achieved by any SARPCCO member.

SARPCCO records in javelin and 200m were broken as police officers jostled for seats to Swaziland. The darts teams competed fiercely in a round robin system to ensure that crème la de crème was chosen among the seventeen police provincial teams.

Of the 102 games to be won Support Unit player Sergeant Major Magwayi nicknamed "jugnoss" emerged tops with 83 points and crowned the best player of the tournament in the men section. Support Unit men darts team was unbeaten in the CGP sports gala against the seventeen provinces. Best part of the darts games was shown when they played Mashonaland West province whom they massacred 34-2.Their style and performance was unmatched at the tournament unlike their ladies.

The ladies section also saw Cst. Nyika Svodayi of Harare emerging the victor after amassing 58points out of 64. Cst. Nyika nicknamed ‘Dhara' is the best female darts player in Zimbabwe and Region 5 formerly Zone VI after her exploits at the games held at Reserve bank Sports club in august 2014, where she scooped almost all the medals on offer. The Harare ladies team boost of a veteran Supt Nzonzo who has been in darts since the 80's and has won many accolades nationally and regionally herself playing with the whites then. Also Cst. Masuka Charity a young Region 5 champion herself completes the bad trio, which has come to be known even nationally. Support Unit men team and Harare Darts ladies were the only teams unbeaten in the darts competitions.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police darts team to the SARPCCO games is only made up of men only, as women are not yet represented on their own .It is the same scenario also in the Region 5 where the games for the security forces in the region is still to see the light of the day.
