The eagerly anticipated rugby clash between the Welwitschias and the South African side, Blue Bulls, will now take place at a different venue than originally planned. Instead of being held at the renowned Dr. Hage Geingob Stadium, a new location has been designated.

Dr. Hage Geingob Stadium holds significant prominence as the traditional home of rugby in Namibia, hosting numerous premier league matches and national team games throughout the year.

Being the catalyst for empowering young people in the country, the Ministry of Sport, Youth, and National Service has embarked on a week-long seminar at Omaheke's Otjinene Constituency.

The meeting is aimed at equipping young people with skills in education, health-related matters, and business.

Speaking at the official opening of the workshop at Otjinene, regional youth officer Jefta Mbuende said youngsters need to be capacitated with the few resources available to be part of the regional development.

The Namibian Organization of Youth with Disabilities has elected youth representatives from each region to help them better address their needs during the National Youth Conference at Rietfontein.

Stereotyping, stigma, and discrimination are some of the challenges people with disabilities face on a daily basis.

It is for this reason that their representation in each region is of the utmost importance.

Like most youth, young people with disabilities have a lot to contribute to the nation's building, but they are mostly excluded.
