Two Boxers Bashir Nasir and Regarn Simbwa and table tennis player Halima Nambozo have become the latest Ugandan athletes to be declared missing at the end of the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast Australia.
Reports say they vanished from the Athletes' Village before the Ugandan team was due to fly home.
It brings the total number of Ugandan competitors who absconded to five after weightlifters Irene Kasuubo and Khalid Batuusa disappeared during the Games.
The disappearance of Tanzanian table tennis player Fatia Fazi has also been reported.
The number of African athletes and officials gone missing is now 18 after eight Cameroonians, Rwandan powerlifting coach Paul Nsengiyumva, two from Sierra Leone and Kenyan boxer Brian Agina also disappeared.
They all have a legal right to stay in Australia until May 15, the date their visas expire, and it is not known whether they will remain in the country or return home.
Rwanda National Olympic and Sports Committee vice-president Festus Bizimana admitted that the whereabouts of Nsengiyumvwa remains unknown.
A Nigerian weightlifting coach also disappeared with a lifter and three athletes.
Australia's Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton had warned athletes in the lead-up to Gold Coast 2018 not to overstay their visas or they will be fished out for deportation.
It maintains a trend of African athletes disappearing at major events, many of whom are seeking improved social and economic living conditions.
