The team finished tenth in the medal table and won a total of twenty-six medals; nine gold, ten silver and seven bronze. Eight South African athletes competed at the Games; five men and three women.
At the time, South Africa was banned from the Olympic Games because of the policy of apartheid but was invited to the Paralympics.
