The National Sports Council of Zambia (NSCZ) says Zambia will participate in the 2011 All Africa Games slated for Mozambique despite pulling out of hosting the event earlier in the year.
ZANIS reports the organisation’s acting Secretary General Margaret Mukopa says Zambia has advanced preparations the 2011 Maputo games.
Major. Mukopa said the NCSZ Talent Identification Programme (TIP) is on going as it is the only way the association can identify capable sports men and women to bring glory to the country.
She expressed her optimism that all NSCZ affiliate members will increase preparations and short list for the event.
The Acting Secretary General said all sports bodies have been given the privilege of coming up with the best list of people so as to ensure every group gets the proper representation.
The sports council embarked on the TIP in October 2008 soon after Zambia won the bid to host the 2011 All Africa Games.
The aim of the TIP was to ensure that sports bodies select the best people that will represent the country at this event and that the programe is still on course.
Zambia however announced its withdrawal from the 2011 All Africa Games citing the global economic meltdown that has had a great impact especially on the country’s major foreign income earner – copper.

Awe kwena muchalo mumyse tatwakwata insoni!!
That’s what determination can bring on a nation. Angola which was ravaged by more that 15-years ov civil war is hosting the African cup of nations in 2010 and Mozambique also with a similar past will host the All Africa games in 2011. Zambia which has never experienced any civil wars has failed to even put up an honest bid to host the Africa Cup of Nations. The MMD Govt under Chiluba had to lie in their bid & when there was interest from CAF they withdrew. Cheap politics are hurting our image abroad. what a shame indeed. You need infrastructure to host sporting activities there are no subsitutes or short-cuts.
Why even waste our time, we must be ashamed for failing to host the games. Shame on MMD govermnent.
thats why they keep on kneeling down for help and also ukufulama for those who are looking for a bang hole. What a shame.
ubupuba!
shame on you MMD, you have been chewing our tax on useless ventures and gatherings and yet you failed to host what was given to you on a silver plate. shemuna shameeeeeeeee……..
