At a recent Standard Bank sponsorship announcement, Director of sport in the Ministry of Sport, Youth and National Service, Jo-Ann Manuel, spoke about how the 46 Million Namibia Dollars allocated for the financial year are going to be utilized. 

Among other things, Manuel suggested the reintroduction of the grant system to the federations as sports administrators find it difficult to make ends meet without the support of corporate sponsorship.

The third edition of the Namibia Sport Expo took place at Swakopmund.

The Namibia Sports Commission and its counterpart in Botswana are satisfied with what they have accomplished in the first year of their ongoing memorandum of understanding.

The Namibia Sports Commission and the Botswana National Sports Commission signed a cooperation agreement in November last year, with the focus on strengthening and sustaining collaboration in the field of sports administration, as well as exchange programmes.

As per the agreement, the management committee must have a meeting after every year, to reflect and make amendments if need be.

Local athletes, who travelled with the Namibia School Sports Union to South Africa for the annual COSSASA ball games recently, were shocked to see that they were not booked at Porthoff Stroom stadium where the event was scheduled to take place.
