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. "I am satisfied in my mind that we have done enough to keep the Games," Reddy said in a telephonic interview. "We were asked to submit outstanding documentation by Nov. 30, which we did, and in my mind we have given the CGF everything they have asked for. Reddy would not be drawn on questions around the funding of the Games, but says the Durban offering was "compact", suggesting costs were unlikely to spiral out of control. "The package presented to the CGF by Durban was compact – aside from an athletes village, everything else is already in place," he said.
