Our government can’t promote any sport unless it offers perdiem. Look at how we have neglected the number one sport, soccer. Chipolopolo arrive in Morocco for Afcon and their coach is banned by CAF! Because he is not qualified. Dont governments and FAZ do their homework before spending and putting someone on a plane?
