The Ministry of Youth, Sport, and Arts' Permanent Secretary, Kangwa Chileshe, has warmly congratulated Zambian boxer Patrick Chinyemba on his remarkable achievement of winning a gold medal at the African Continent Paris 2024 Olympic Qualifiers held in Dakar, Senegal. Chinyemba's victory holds special significance as he stands out as the only male boxer from Eastern, Western, and Southern Africa to secure a gold medal and qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics in France. This accomplishment is nothing short of extraordinary and deserves celebration. It is important to note that the other gold medal winners hail from North Africa, including countries such as Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt. In an interview, Mr. Kangwa said that the government should not act selfishly and take full credit for the win without acknowledging the athletes. He later emphasized that while Patrick Chinyemba's success is truly commendable, the government's role should primarily revolve around providing a conducive environment for various sports to flourish and prosper. Chileshe's stance reflects a commitment to fostering an atmosphere where athletes can excel, representing Zambia with pride and distinction on the global stage.
