Minister of Youth, Sport and Art, Elvis Nkandu, says government is working hard to recognize talent from every corner of the country by organizing a program called the National Sports Festivals which will see different universities participate.
Speaking during the handing over of sports equipment to Chalimbana University in Chongwe district, Nkandu says he is convinced that through programs like this, the ministry will promote talent identification.

And in his own capacity as Minister of Youth, Sport and Art, Nkandu has donated k10,000 to the institution for assistance in the uplifting of their sports infrastructure.
