Saturday’s annual general meeting also adopted the chairperson’s report, covering activities of the previous season, and also adopted the treasurer’s report covering financial matters from last season.

The meeting also resolved that the 2022 Super 10 League season kicks off on 12 March, and also admitted four new teams to the Khomas Netball fold. The teams are the Ministry of Mines and Energy; Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare; Unam Dr Hage Geingob School of Medicine; and the men’s team of African Catwalkers (Afrocats).
