I'm moving in - Shikongo
Paralympic gold medallist Ananias Shikongo yesterday moved into his new house given to him by Standard Bank Namibia.
Standard Bank Namibia made good on the promise they made two years ago to build a two-bedroom house worth N$500 000 in a joint effort with the National Housing Enterprise.
The athlete, who used to live in a shack in Goreangab in Windhoek, expressed his happiness and said he was moving into the new house in Greenwell Matongo with the help of friends and family.
“I waited for a long time but I'm very happy.”
“I started my journey in 1997 and now it has finally paid off with the house I got through my hard work,” Shikongo said.
Shikongo dominated international headlines at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when he scooped a gold medal in the men's 200m T11 race and two bronze medals in the 100m T11 race and 400m T11.
The athlete has also won several medals in international competitions recently.
