F. F. Foundation honours Nambala
The Frank Fredericks Foundation''s fundraising golf day was not just about playing the game but also saw sportspersons honouring Paralympic silver medallist Johannes Nambala.
The Frank Fredericks Foundation and Alexander Forbes hosted the annual Frank Fredericks Foundation fundraising golf day at the Omeya Golf Club on Saturday.
The event attracted 17 teams with the aim to raise sport and academic scholarships for talented young Namibian athletes.
The introduction of a shotgun start, which saw all the teams teeing off at the same time, was a welcome addition to this year''s event.
Golfers also had an opportunity to get to know each other through fun networking activities. Alexander Forbes as co-host of the event entered nine teams, with invited golfers from various companies.
Furntech Agencies in conjunction with Samsung pledged their continued support of the annual golf day by sponsoring the prizes for the first three teams. Coca-Cola Namibia Bottling Company was the official soft drinks sponsor, while the Kombat Community Trust and Bank Windhoek also sponsored the event.
The Namibia National Olympic Committee team (N. Smit, L. Louw, E. Pretorius, T. Losper) were in first place and walked away with digital cameras sponsored by Furntech Agencies in conjunction with Samsung. The Patriot team (J. Martin, A. Smit, T. Gurirab, C. Fillemon) were in second place, winning microwave ovens, while the third-place winners Investec (S. Bonifatius, L. Tshoopara, P. Gabriel, B. Gasela) won Blueray player bundles with 3D glasses and movies.
