Uganda’s Commonwealth Games team manager has said he does not know why boxers from the delegation have disappeared, as concerns remain over whether the athletes will return home before their visas run out.
Godwin Kayangwe, Uganda’s chef de mission at the Commonwealth Games, said he had “no idea” why the boxers had disappeared. He also said he hoped the athletes would go back to Uganda before their visas expire in October.
The available information does not state how many boxers are involved, when they were last accounted for, or where they are believed to be. It also does not specify whether police, immigration officials or sporting authorities have opened any formal inquiry.
Kayangwe’s comments place the immediate focus on the athletes’ immigration status, with October identified as the point at which their visas are due to expire. His stated hope is that they return home before that deadline.
No further official explanation for the disappearances has been provided in the supplied material. The latest known position is that Uganda’s team management says it does not know why the boxers have disappeared and is hoping for their return before the visa expiry date.
