OYDC ZAMBIA TO ASSESS THE CHOLERA OUTBREAK BEFORE COMMENCING THE 2024 SPORTING SEASON

The OYDC Zambia wishes to announce that management will diligently study the cholera outbreak before starting the 2024 sporting season for the youths. A decision will be made on 29th January 2024 regarding whether or not to start the sporting season on 3rd February 2024.

The cholera outbreak has so far affected over four thousand (4, 000) people in Lusaka with over hundred and seventy (170) deaths as at 5th January, 2024. Management at the Centre will continue to assess the cholera situation in the country to determine if the sporting season which includes the "Teulings Youth Sports Challenge" can commence as scheduled.

However, all our clients and other facility users are welcome to book the sports facilities and the lodge and are advised to follow all health prevention protocols as guided by the Ministry of Health.
