A teacher and sport organiser from Hage Geingob High School said parents should stop being ignorant when it comes to school sports.

Here's what prompted his sentiments.

An athletics interhouse competition which hosted five schools from Katutura last week saw several athletes participate without proper attire, ultimately proving to be a disadvantage for them.

In this context, Hage Geingob High School teacher Josia Hitanwa described why this hindering their progress in a variety of ways. 

The event took place at the Independence Stadium on a sunny afternoon resulting in the turf being hot too and  making it difficult for the athletes to perform at their level best.

With athletes preparing on gravel fields and the competition taking place at the Independence Stadium, the athletes also found this to be a barrier. They shared their views on the issue.

The introduction of more athletics clubs in the capital may help to bring more development to this matter.
