Durban:
Wishing India "good luck" for the Commonwealth Games, South
African President Jacob Zuma has urged the country to "prove the
world wrong like we did with our FIFA World Cup 2010".
"I wish India good luck. Prove the world wrong as we did with our
FIFA World Cup 2010 who doubted our abilities in hosting an event
as big as that and we successfully hosted it proving all wrong and
I am sure India too will do it," Zuma said Saturday at the
concluding session of the two-day Pravasi Bharatiya Divas held in
Durban to engage the Indian diaspora in Africa.
The Oct 3-14 Commonwealth Games, the biggest sporting event to be
held in India since the 1982 Asian Games, had been marred by
controversies over sanitation, safety and security concerns but
finally, everything has fallen into place.
