The Zambia Commonwealth games bound team will likely be temporally accommodated in a hotel as their hostel in the games village in New Delhi is still not habitable.
The 22-member team leaves for India Tuesday afternoon for India and are due to arrive on Wednesday ahead of the event that will run from October 3 to 14 in New Delhi.
A tour on Saturday of the Games village by members of the Zambia mission in New Delhi revealed that Tower Number 17that is allocated to the Zambian contingent had inadequate bed-capacity and was not in satisfactory sanitary state.
The build-up to the Commonwealth Games have been hit with revelations of inhabitable living conditions in the Games village that has led some countries to delay their arrival for the three-week event.
Zambia is sending representatives in track and field, boxing, swimming, badminton, squash and bowling.
My apeal to our organisers is that they should not expose our men and women to un healthy conditions. If the rooms are not up to standard, they should reject them and probably even boycot the games.you are free to do so!!!
India’s nigger-slave media people have to stop reporting on the White Master and his servants and start reporting on the greatest living Indian. I am India’s expert in strategic defence and the father of India’s strategic program, including the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program. I have shown in my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’, which can be found by a Yahoo search with the title, going to profile page and clicking on blog title,

# 2 You curry smelling japati bombay mix eating fool, how gave you the authority to use the N word. You must be high on the dirty water from the ganges river with such madness. Instead of worrying about nuclear weapons why don’t you indians feed your poor.
Indian are very dirty its not a surprise that this is happening. You can see for yourself when you visit their country, not only that even those that live in Dubai are also very dirty. Its a pit that they were awarded a chance to host the games which is such a waste
Delhi is dirty, Lusaka is dirty.
Indians are dirty, Zambians are dirty too!
This is no place for racist comments!
No comment…
#6, you also forgot to mention that Zed failed to host the “Africa Games” and gave up along the way, and so is India struggling to keep up with the “Commonwealth Games”
#2…this is no place for that. Why dont you try Delhitimes.com if there is one am sure your fellow indians will understand you more. #6..uleumfwa
New Delhi – A South African competitor reportedly found a snake in his room as complaints over cleanliness, security and construction continued to dog the troubled Commonwealth Games a week before the sporting event opens in New Delhi.
While international sports officials have said the situation had improved dramatically in the athletes’ village over the past couple days – after inspections last week turned up rooms spattered with chewing tobacco and human excrement – some teams said the situation remained grim.

Tuelo Serufho, head of the Botswana contingent, told Press Trust of India that his team’s rooms in the village were “unlivable for our athletes”, with filthy bedsheets, bathroom fixtures that did not work and construction debris yet to be cleared away.

# 6 its the truth and a fact, i know its hurts but that is reality. Indians and their country is very dirty.
Cleanness has nothing to do with racism.
Just find time and visit India or a place called Deira in Dubai especially on a Friday you will see for yourself. These pipo even open their car doors when they are driving just to spit, we have seen it all and it has nothing to do with race they are just dirty with bad manners when it comes to keeping the environment clean.
and themselves clean…….
Potential Medal winning teams are delaying arrival into dirty DELHI on health & security concerns. Potential losers & chancers (Zambia) very quick to Jet into Delhi on an errand that will yield NOTHING.
Two things i want to say are that our athletes should not go there for a holiday but reap medals. They shouldn’t also give excusses for failing to mint medals on living conditions in India. Secondly, the world should respect other country’s conditions and traditions. Countries cannot all be the same and we all need to experience variety of life style in all spheres of human endeavers. In SouthAfrica we have Vuvuzelas while Europe has there own ways of making noise. What is normal to Indian should be respected by others and not capitalized as a means to attack our friends
Stop with the ridiculous comments.
Our Zambian athletes have been put up in a hotel and the conditions in the hotel are as good or even better than some of the best hotels in Lusaka.
The athletes are not being asked to live in rural india or in a rubbish dump. I hope they do not use the fact that they stayed in a hotel as an excuse for not performing. We need to take the example of the Australian athletes, they have to deal with the same conditions and they don’t use excuses.
Also we should not be passing judgment on other developing in terms of cleanliness or health concerns. As a former Lusaka resident I know just how many people die every rainy season because of cholera. We are Zambians,adversity should not put us down! I hope we can get a medal in the badminton now that the…
