Embattled Waters to elect new leaders
Walvis Bay club Blue Waters, who narrowly survived relegation this season, will be electing a new executive on 7 June at an extraordinary annual general meeting.
The current leaders have served three terms, meaning they will have to make way for new brooms.
A total of seven executive members will be relieved of their duties.
“The constitution of the club only allows us to run for three terms and we have been in the positions for a while now.
“As a club, we respect the constitution and that is why we will allow free and fair elections to take place on 7 June,” said outgoing executive member Robert Shimoshili said.
Blue Waters survived a Namibia Premier League (NPL) disaster this season by finishing one place above the relegation zone.
The club finished the season on 32 points, with Young Chiefs, who were relegated, finishing on 31 points.
It was an appalling season for the coastal side, who only managed to win eight games out of 30.
Waters lost 14 games and drew eight, while scoring 33 goals and conceding 43.
“Yes, we can admit that we did have a terrible season and it will be up to the new leadership to see what they can do to improve the club.
“We, as the outgoing leadership, are prepared to support the club and the incoming leadership.
“I have been part of this club since 1990 and it is very close to my heart.
“That is why we are going to work with the new leadership to ensure the transition period runs smoothly,” Shimoshili added.
Blue Waters performed far worse than they did during the 2015/16 season, when they ended sixth with 44 points.
