Head coach of Afrocats Netball Team, Dimitri Bittler, expressed frustration over their delayed departure from Windhoek on Friday night due to awaiting the monthly grants from Netball Namibia to assist with travel expenses. Bittler criticised the administration of Netball Namibia for asserting that the funds had been disbursed when they hadn't appeared in their accounts.

"Our account is with Bank Windhoek as Netball Namibia's, so it's perplexing why the funds haven't reflected, causing a delay in our travel plans," said Bittler.
