Elgamal beat his compatriot Ahmed Salah in the men's singles final, winning both sets 21-14 to clinch the title.

The second seed had eased past Zambia's Kalombo Mulenga 21-5, 21-14 in the semi-finals, and did not drop a set en route to victory as he knocked out home favourites Expedito Emuddu and Muzafar Lubega and Mauritius' eighth seed Aatish Lubah.

Salah, seeded fourth, also had not dropped a set prior to the final, which he reached following the retirement of fellow Egyptian Mohamed Mostafa Kamel in the last four.

The eventual runner-up had been leading 17-5 in the first set.

Mauritius' top seed and defending champion Georges Julien Paul had recovered from a slow start to lead Mostafa 18-17 in the first set of their quarter-final but was forced to retire from the match after tearing his Achilles tendon.

The top two seeds in Scholtz and Egypt's Doha Hany reached the final, beating Uganda's Fadilah Shamika Mohamed Rafi 21-14, 21-10 and Algeria's Mounib Celia 21-11, 23-21 in the semi-finals respectively.

It was the second-seeded South African who prevailed to earn the continental title, overcoming her opponent 21-15, 21-11.

Scholtz had earlier beaten Tanina Mammeri of Algeria and Uganda's Tracy Naluwooza in straight sets, before being taken to a decider by Egypt's Jana Ashraf in the quarter-finals and eventually winning 21-14, 13-21, 21-14.

Algeria's top seeds Koceila Mammeri and Youcef Sabri Medel took the men's doubles title, winning all four matches without dropping a set.

They saw off Egypt's Salah and Abdelrahman Abdelhakim 21-16, 21-13 in the final.

Mammeri and Medel have now won four of the last five men's doubles titles at the All Africa Championships.

Scholtz added further success to her name as she won the women's doubles event for South Africa alongside Amy Ackerman.

The pair won their first two matches in straight games, before beating Uganda's top seeds Rafi and Naluwooza 21-8, 18-21, 21-11 in the semi-finals.

The final pitted them against Algeria's Celia and Tanina Mammeri, and Scholtz and Ackerman came out on top 23-21, 21-13.

There was an upset in the mixed doubles final as Koceila and Tanina Mammeri beat top seeds Elgamal and Hany of Egypt 21-10, 21-7.

The team competition saw Egypt come out on top, with Salah, Ashraf, Hany, Elgamal and Nour Ahmed Youssri all playing matches in the final which saw them beat Algeria 3-1.

Egypt had earlier topped Group C with wins against Uganda and Ghana, before facing the hosts again in the semi-finals and triumphing 3-0.
