Do athletes need to take malaria precautions for South Africa?
Most parts of South Africa are malaria-free. The Deca event is in the Western Cape Oudsthoorn. It is not a malaria zone.
If you are still concerned, you can use Mosquito Repellent but there is no need for extra vaxinations. Athletes are encouraged to also research the high-risk areas through their own clinic or medical doctor.
