South Africa will not participate in the 2016 Olympics.[3][4] Previously SASCOC chief executive Tubby Reddy had stated that winning the continental qualifier would not be enough.[5] Kenya, as the second-placed team in the African qualifiers, advance to the Olympics.[6] Madagascar, the fifth-place finisher in qualifying, was named as a replacement.[7]
