South Africa made its Paralympic Games début at the 1964 Summer Paralympics in Tokyo, Japan and finished 6th on the medal table. It sent nine athletes to compete in archery, athletics, swimming and weightlifting. They finished sixth on the medal table with nineteen medals, of which eight were gold. Paradoxically, South Africa began to compete at the Paralympics after being refused participation at the Olympics, held in Tokyo the same summer, after refusing to send a single, multiracial team as demanded by the IOC, following the passing of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1761 in 1962 (which condemned the country's policy of apartheid). The country refused to acquiesce and was, thus, absent from the 1964 Summer Olympics.
