Disabled Team stranded in Maputo

The Ghana Disabled Team at the just ended All Africa Games in Maputo is reported to be stranded in Mozambique.

The team should have left last Thursday as per their travel arrangements but the Mozambican authorities kept postponing their flight.

Some of the disabled athletes who pleaded for anonymity told Asempa Sports that they had no idea why they were going through all challenges.

According to them, they were treated unfairly before the games and when they expected things to change, they still have worse times to contend with.

They called on the Government to intervene to get the contingent back to Ghana.

A member of the Disable Team, Ajarah Mohammed, won two gold medals at the event, winning the 1,500m and 400m races.
