Final SA Paralympic team for Paris

In total, Team SA has para competitors across athletics, cycling, judo, equestrian, triathlon, swimming, and wheelchair tennis.

The financial incentives for medallists are the same as they are for the Paris 2024 Olympic athletes: athletes who win gold will be awarded R400 000, with the coach receiving R100 000. Silver medallists will earn R200 000 and R50 000, while the bronze medal payouts will be R75 000 and R25 000 for the athlete and coach, respectively.

To recognise the unique nature of the Paralympics, guides for visually impaired athletes will also receive the same payouts as the coaches of those athletes that earn a medal.

For Boccia, where Team SA will be competing, the following incentives will apply:
R200 000 per athlete and R100 000 for the coach for a gold medal;
R100 000 per athlete and R50 000 for the coach for a silver medal;
R40 000 per athlete and R20 000 for the coach for a bronze medal.
