ICT Ministry to host golf tourney
The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology yesterday launched the 2017 ICT Minister's Golf Day at its headquarters.
The event will take place on 27 and 28 April at the Rössing Golf course at Swakopmund.
It will be the second time that a tournament of such nature is held by the ministry.
Last year, the tournament saw 36 teams challenging each other at the Windhoek Country Club.
This year, Minister Tjekero Tweya expects a bigger and better competition.
“I invite all our stakeholders, corporate Namibia, to register for this competition,” he said.
“Last year, the event was a success and we expect a bigger and better golf day this time around.
“Those who missed the inaugural ICT Minister's Golf Day last year have no idea what they missed.
“It was a memorable day which brought together people from all walks of life.
“Male and female golf teams of the public and private sectors entered teams; and I am proud to mention once again that the team of MMI walked away with the championship, with the NWR women's team as runners-up,” Tweya said.
Interested teams are required to pay a registration fee of N$7 500 each. The registration process started yesterday and will continue until 14 April.
Teams that fail to register before that date will not be given a late registration chance.
“The ICT Minister's Golf Day is the premium sport-in-ICT brand held under the vanguard of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology.
“The ICT Minister's Golf Day further creates a platform to expose ICT companies, and all consumers of ICT, how to survive in the age of acceleration and high speed, to keep current with the ever-increasing demands of this vibrant sector of ICT.
“The ICT Minister's Golf Day in essence strives to keep the industry connected and close to the bigger ICT dream of the minister of information and communication technology,” Tweya said.
