In 2022, NSSU team members and parents were left stranded after a trip to Potchefstroom, South Africa where they were supposed to participate in the COSSASA Athletics. They however realised the event was not taking place after travelling to South Africa by bus and arriving to an empty stadium. Both the COSSASA Athletics and the Ball Games have been seen as highlights of Schools Sport in the Southern African region.

The Namibia Schools Sports Union's Chairperson, Thephilus Nuugulu, and NSSU's newly appointed Coordinator, Roger Kambatuku have stated that public schools sport lacks parental support. 

The two administrators made these remarks on NBC's Intersport show.

The existing relationship between the Ministry of Sport, NSSU and parents has led to the realization that school sport officials have played their role to the best of their abilities, whereas parental involvement has lacked in government schools.

Roger Kambatuku has been appointed as the National Schools Sport Coordinator effective 1st of February.

This is according to a media release issued by the NSSU national chairperson Teofilus Nuugulu just moments ago.

He is on interim secondment from the Ministry of Sport, Youth and National Service and the NSSU council resolution of 5th August 2022.

He will be in charge of the NSSU operations a well the NSSU reform process as envisaged in the integrated physical education school policy.
