Haufiku to lead Blue Waters as chairperson …eager to build upon the foundation

Haufiku to lead Blue Waters as chairperson …eager to build upon the foundation

Blue Waters Sports Club, a prominent Walvis Bay sports establishment, has ushered in new leadership with the election of a new executive committee to guide the club’s affairs for the next three years up to March 2028.

The elections were held during the club’s annual general meeting in Walvis Bay on Saturday, where Mathias Haufiku was voted the new chairperson. Joining him in the leadership team are Mathew Kambala as vice-chairperson and Maureen Ikela, who will be the treasurer. The new committee also includes Antony Van Wyk, Lucky Shipanga, Susanna Hamhana, Bernard Kamatoto, Sonny Ndalumbumo and Ruben Nakwafila.

After his election, Haufiku expressed excitement about the future of the club and the opportunities that lie ahead. 

“As the new chair, I am thrilled about the potential of our sports club. We have a solid foundation, and with the help of this new executive committee, we will work hard to elevate Blue Waters to greater heights,” he said.

Haufiku stressed the collective responsibility of the new executive committee in managing the club, which includes overseeing all sports codes under Blue Waters. He acknowledged the current challenges the football team faces, particularly in their performance in the league.  “While we recognise that the football team has had some challenges in terms of league performance, we are fully committed to supporting them and turning the tide in the upcoming games,” he said.

The club is languishing at in the bottom of the Debmarine Premier League log standings. On Saturday, Blue Waters played to a 0-0 draw against Young Brazilians. Another match against Khomas Nampol scheduled for yesterday afternoon was postponed due to the fact that three players from Blue Waters travelled with the national team.

Despite the recent struggles on the field, Haufiku and his team remain optimistic about the future.

“Our focus will be on fostering a culture of discipline, hard work and high performance within the club. We will provide the necessary support to our players, coaches, and technical team to ensure Blue Waters thrives both on and off the field,” he said. 

He expressed confidence that with consistent effort and focus on the bigger picture, the club could improve its standing in the league.

He also highlighted that the new leadership is eager to build upon the groundwork laid by previous committee members. “We are excited to continue the work done by our predecessors and lead the club towards success in the coming years,” Haufiku added.
