As a human resource function to appreciate staff and students, the University of Zambia Sports day puts aside a day in each year to exercise.
This is to encourage all units in the university to keep healthy and to unify students and lecturers.
University Registrar Theresa Chalwe says such an activity helps relieve the participants of their daily busy schedule of being busy with schoolwork.
Speaking on behalf of the students, UNZASU President Elias Banda says the sports day is a relief from the pressure of academics that students are subjected to.
