Speaking from Lusaka, David Grevemberg said:

“Transformation 2022 aims to place athletes, and the transformational impact of their achievements and performances on citizens and communities, at the heart of the Federation’s vision. And there is no better place to have such powerful discussions than in the incredible sporting continent of Africa.

This is a defining moment for our African colleagues, as they unite to support the ambitions of Durban and South Africa in their bid to host an inclusive and inspiring Commonwealth Games in 2022. It is also a defining moment for the Commonwealth Sports Movement, as we plan ambitiously for the future and develop and deliver Transformation 2022 in partnership with our members.”

Welcoming the delegation, Zambia’s Honourable Minister of Youth and Sport, Hon Vincent Mwale MP, said:

“African Commonwealth Games Associations have a vital role to play in achieving the Commonwealth Games Federation’s Strategic plan for 2022. The CGF provides a unique arrangement bringing diverse nations together for a common cause-sport.

The Commonwealth Movement embraces unity and humanity, impacting citizens and communities across our region and this is critical to foster mutual collaboration and prosperity through sport.”

The delegation comprised members from Botswana, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Swaziland, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia.

The delegation also enjoyed a tour of the IOC’s Sport for Hope Centre and Olympic Youth Development Centre as part of the visit, which opened in 2010 to promote and facilitate access to sports for young athletes, local communities and support National Sport Federations.

CGF Regional Vice President for Africa, Miriam Moyo, who coordinated and hosted the meeting of African CGAs said:

“The Executive Board endorsed the new CGF vision and plans at our recent meeting in London. However, for Transformation 2022 to be the success we all want it to be, the on-going development and shared ambitions of the wider Commonwealth family are so important. We are therefore delighted that our members have had the opportunity to play an important part in the on-going consultations and discuss the plan’s opportunities and impacts ahead of our General Assembly in September.”

The regional meeting of African CGAs follows a successful meeting on 11 and 12 April of the European CGAs at Celtic Manor in Wales hosted by CGF Regional Vice President and Commonwealth Games Wales Chief Executive Chris Jenkins.

David Grevemberg visited Zambia en route to Durban, South Africa where he will participate in the Evaluation Commission for the 2022 Commonwealth Games bid, starting April 27, 2015.

Seychelles, Mauritius Lament Nigeria’s Absence At ITTF African Junior Championships

Contingents from Seychelles and host – Mauritius are not happy that Nigeria will not be present at the ITTF Africa Junior and Cadet Championships (AJC), which served off on Wednesday April 8 in Mauritius.

Coaches of Seychelles and Mauritius lamented that the absence of the West Africa giant will surely deny the tournament the expected glamour envisaged.

Nine teams including Nigeria’s arch-rival Egypt will compete for the 11 titles at stake in the competition.

Other teams listed for the tournament are Seychelles, South Africa, Algeria, Madagascar, Tunisia, Morocco, Angola and host – Mauritius.

Coach Jimmy Vel of Seychelles said the inability of Nigeria to be part of the tournament will give Egypt the chance to mop up all the titles.

He however took solace in the fact that the tournament would help his players to improve their game.

Nigerian Youth players at the Lagos ITTF World Tour

“I don’t know why a nation like Nigeria will not be at this tournament considering their contribution to the sport in the continent and worldwide. There is no doubt that their inability to be part of this year’s AJC has indeed denied the competition the expected glamour and excitement that the team is known for. We in Seychelles wanted to come here and learn from nations like Nigeria because to me they are the best. But not seeing them here alone psychologically has affected most of the teams. My players have been asking whether Nigeria is coming because some of them are fans of Aruna Quadri and they are eager to see his compatriots perform in Mauritius,” Vel said.

For the Coach Patrick Sahajasein of Mauritius, the absence of Nigeria has really dampened the spirit of his team for the AJC.

Sahajasein, who is familiar with the quality of Nigerian players said they are all looking forward to seeing the team in Mauritius.

“I know that if Nigeria has been here, Egypt will not be having a field day at the AJC. It is disappointing that Nigeria is not coming and even before the commencement of the tournament, the feeling among all the participating teams is that the tournament is for Egypt to win. But this will not discourage my players from giving their best because from what I saw at the WJC, the Egyptians are beatable,” Sahajasein said.
