Oranjemunders reunite in Windhoek

  Wilhelmina Iimene 

 

Oranjemunders and friends had a fun-filled day with sports activities, networking, socialising and of course reuniting with old and meeting new friends at a reunion they hosted at the Unam sports grounds over the weekend. 

The diamond town, which was and still is home to a diverse community of people who were first employed by NamDeb and those who attended school at the Oranjemund Private School, kept the town alive for many years. Over the years, the community has opened its borders to welcome people from across the country and has built and kept a tight-knit generation of educated, talented and forward-thinking people. The reunion was, therefore, a call for friends and families to come together to support and experience the diamond spirit. 

The sports activities included netball, volleyball, football, chess and relay tracks, while the event also had a kiddies’ corner with a jumping castle for the younger ones. Each sport activity only had two teams, East and West. The teams were selected based on the side of town on which a person lived, representing either the east or the west side.  

Niita Shituula, a member of the organising committee, said the day was a definite success. “Not only did we enjoy the day with childhood friends, we also met new faces from different Oranjemund generations. 

The competition was healthy, and every team displayed great sportsmanship,” she beamed.  The social event also had stalls where people could buy food and drinks, so people could quench their thirst during the long eventful day. 

The West side won the netball game in a close call with just four points more when they beat the East side 20-16. 

The West side got a terrible 3-0 hiding in a football match, while the East won both men’s and women’s relay categories. The West won the volleyball match and sack racing.
