Speaking to Nampa on Sunday Collin Benjamin, the founder of the youth league, said they are monitoring the situation regarding the rising Covid-19 cases in Windhoek and they will take that into consideration as they continue with the league.
He added that upcoming weekend fixtures will continue as is, and they will then sit down and decide on when to take a break. On the schools that have not participated, he said they had accommodated them by postponing their games with the hope that when they open schools, they will then play all their outstanding games. All matches took place on Saturday. – Nampa
