In a bid to broaden the number of sports in the country, the Zambian government is considering introducing Barbadian Road Tennis. The idea was presented to the Zambian delegation that was in Barbados attending the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) convention against doping in sport. The sport is not only easy to play, but it is also simple and cost-effective to arrange. It can be played on any flat surface with drawn dimensions using wooden rackets with a smooth tennis ball. According to a statement released by the Ministry of Sports Chief Sports Development Officer, Raphael Mulenga, who is also the Sports Council of Zambia acting General Secretary, the Zambian delegation which comprised of Permanent Secretary Kangwa Chileshe, Director of Sport John Zulu, and Mulenga were in the Caribbean Islands to attend the seventh formal UNESCO Fund for Elimination of Doping in Sport approval committee meeting in Bridgetown. Mulenga also mentioned that approval committee and bureau meetings were held from June 6 to 8 under the eighth Conference of Parties (COP 8), with Zambia attending in its capacity as Africa representative on the committee.
