Renovation of a pavilion at the cost of N$1 million. A multi-purpose field was also constructed at the amount of N$3 million. at Eenhana Sports Stadium.”“Although we report on a bit of progress, it is important to note that the Eenhana Sport Stadium has been under construction for the past 10 years now. This is unacceptable as the time it is taking to construct the stadium is too long demonstrating that the facility has not been prioritized.”“We call on the Ministry of Education, Innovation, Sport, Arts and Culture to speedily complete the construction.”The issues surrounding the incomplete Eenhana sports stadium has been a song sang by politicians and sports lovers for years but the stadium is yet to be completed.With government's ambitious plan to construct 13 sports stadiums in the next five years has also been criticised with critics questioning how that number of stadiums will be completed yet existing similar projects have turned into white elephants.Earlier this year NMH reported on how education and sports minister Sanet Steenkamp during her budget motivation speech, in which she announced the allocation of N$235 million for the construction of six CAF Category 2 stadiums and seven CAF Category 3 stadiums.The initiative aims to ensure that Namibia’s sports facilities meet Confederation of African Football (CAF) standards.Currently, national teams, including the Brave Warriors, are forced to play official home matches abroad due to substandard local venues.Industry experts estimate that building a single Category 3 stadium could cost over N$2 billion. The government hopes to complete these projects within President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah’s five-year term, which ends in March 2030.According to the budget, N$35 million has been allocated for the six regional Category 2 stadiums - roughly N$6 million per stadium.These will each have a seating capacity of around 10 000, similar to Windhoek’s Sam Nujoma Stadium, which cost N$64 million some 20 years ago,These stadiums are planned for Omuthiya, Gobabis, Mariental, Katima Mulilo, Otjiwarongo, and Nkurenkuru.An additional N$200 million is earmarked for the construction of Category 3 stadiums to enable national teams to host matches locally.These stadiums will be built in Oshakati, Rundu, Outapi, Swakopmund, Eenhana, and Keetmanshoop, with upgrades planned for Windhoek’s Independence Stadium.In her address, Steenkamp emphasised that the stadium developments align with the Swapo Party’s manifesto implementation plan, which targets completion ahead of the 2029 general election.Earlier this year, Sports Ministry executive director Erastus Haitengela confirmed that a feasibility report projected the cost of renovating Independence Stadium alone at N$2 billion.The current N$200 million budget for seven stadiums—most of which would be built from the ground up—has therefore raised serious concerns.Industry experts, questioned the figure saying that it must be a typing error since the construction of stadiums costs up to billions.kenya@nmh-hub.com.na
