The winners of the 10km races were Kefas Kandjaslili and Ottilie Kaunapawa Aimwata.The event also offered a five-kilometre fun run and walk category. More than 829 people entered the different categories, making this year's event the biggest since its inception.Speaking at the event, the governor of the Erongo Region and patron of the Husab marathon, Cleophas Mutjavikua, said the event created a platform to integrate Swakop Uranium employees and their families into the communities of the Erongo Region.Mutjavikua said Swakop Uranium employees should work as a team with their Chinese colleagues and that Namibian citizens should adopt the strong work ethics and high-performance culture of China to ensure that Namibia became a prosperous country.He thanked the Chinese government, through the China General Nuclear Power Corporation, for contributing to the Namibian economy by investing in the Husab Mine.Each year the Swakop Uranium Foundation requests the governor to nominate a charity or school to receive the left-over funds from this event. This year the governor nominated the Katora Primary School near Spitzkoppe to be the beneficiary. ADOLF KAURE
