Despite suffering defeats in both of their games on Saturday, head coach of Afrocats Lions Dimitri Bittler had nothing but praise for his players, saying that there is still room for improvement.

One of the leading figures in the Khomas Regional Council’s sports organising committee has clarified that football players who represented the region at this year’s The Namibian Newspaper Cup were selected on merit. 

This weekend’s round of matches will serve as one of Black Africa’s few remaining opportunities to resuscitate their somewhat feeble campaign, which has left them battling for survival in the relegation zone. 

Despite the fear of exhaustion due to congested fixtures, Afrocats Lions mentor Dimitri Bittler is adamant they can cope with the pressure of playing three matches in one weekend when action continues in the MTC Namibia Netball Premier League (NNPL). 

Despite the hullabaloo around his upcoming fight against America’s Raymond Muratalla, Namibia’s former WBO Global super featherweight champion Jeremiah ‘Lowkey’ Nakathila remains calm and has warned his opponent that he is no newcomer to the Las Vegas boxing dugout. 

Namibia’s Windhoek Draught Welwitschias head coach Chrysander Botha on Saturday expressed disappointment with his side’s continued inability to execute their game plans, following a 24-48 defeat against the visiting Falcons of South Africa.

Life Fighters gaffer Agnus Elemu applauded his players for a superb performance in their 4-3 win over Tigers during Sunday’s Debmarine Premiership clash at the SKW stadium in the capital. 

Otjiwarongo-based outfit Life Fighters gaffer Agnus Elemu is strongly convinced that this weekend’s round of matches will mark a crucial turning point in their Debmarine Premiership campaign, as they prepare to face a tough and equally-determined Orlando Pirates. 

After going down 22-31 against South African side SWD Eagles in their opening match of the Mzanzi Challenge last weekend, the Windhoek Draught Welwitschias are determined to bounce back and coach Chrysander Botha has sent a stern warning to the Falcons. 

Chief administrator of the Namibia Sports Commission (NSC) Freddy Mwiya has welcomed the increased budget allocation to the commission, which will see it getting an allotment of N$17.5 million for the 2023/24 fiscal year.
