Durban has done enough to satisfy CGF, says bid chief


CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Durban has done enough to satisfy the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) and retain hosting rights of the 2022 Games, the chief executive of the Games bid Tubby Reddy told Reuters on Thursday.

Durban was awarded the right to stage the Games in 2015 as the only remaining bidder, but concerns were raised around the funding of the event this week when South Africa's Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula admitted the government could not agree with the CGF on the operational budget. [nL5N1GD3I2]
