The national youth sports festival has opened at the Olympic Youth Development Center- OYDC with over 1 000 youths taking part in the event.
Speaking at the official opening ceremony yesterday, secretary to the cabinet Joshua Kanganja challenged selectors to pick the best athletes to represent the country in future international events.
Kanganja also said that it will be a shame if the country fails to win a medal at the SADC games to be hosted by Zambia.
He says government is investing huge resources in the development of sports infrastructure across the country.
At the same occasion, sports permanent secretary Teddy Mulonga says government wants to ensure that Zambia becomes a top medal winner at the major sports event.
Mr Mulonga also says the investment in sports infrastructure is unprecedented and he has urged the participants to work harder.
