This is great News, shine on Mzansi. I mean, we hosted the World Cup and we nailed it. It’s time to show off again. Durban has been confirmed the host city for the 2022 Commonwealth games.
This will be the first time the games are hosted in our continent (Africa).
“This is an extraordinary day for Durban, a momentous day for South Africa and an historic day for the African continent. We are greatly humbled and honoured to receive this vote of confidence from the members of the Commonwealth countries. I would like to offer my sincerest gratitude to the Commonwealth Games Federation and the Commonwealth Games Associations for this honour. We did not make the journey here alone. Many people have supported us along the way. Firstly, thank you to the people of Durban and South Africa who have stood with us in this bid. The Minister of Sport, Fikile Mbalula, and his cabinet colleagues, together with the provincial government of KwaZulu Natal and of course, the City of Durban have all joined to ensure that we lodged a world class bid and that in seven years’ time will host a successful Games” said Tubby Reddy, CEO of the Bid Committee.
2022 seems like a lifetime away though. But ke sithi Halala Durban…..Halala Mzansi….Halala Africa! #LeGo…
