At the same Games, Kenneth Dzekedzeke set a national record of 1 minute 49 seconds in the men's 800 metres. In 2003, Gertrude Banda repeated the achievement by breaking the national record in women's event. However, development of these individual achievements has been hampered by a lack of infrastructure and capacity in the country and, particularly, a lack of political and corporate financial support. This led to the country being barred from competing in the Games in both 2011 and 2015 due to debt with the Supreme Council of Sports in Africa (SCSA). More recently, Malawi has invested more in international sport and was commended by the organisers of the Games for their structures. The country returned in 2019, sending athletes to compete in archery, athletics, judo, swimming, table tennis and taekwondo.
