Kaperu investigation done
The boxing control board will decide the fate of its suspended chief administrator at its first meeting of the year.
Namibia Wrestling and Boxing Control Board vice-chairperson Philip Mwandingi yesterday disclosed that suspended chief administrator Joe Kaperu's investigation report is ready.
The boxing board suspended the chief administrator late last year for alleged insubordination.
The board appointed an independent investigator to compile a report on the findings.
“What I can confirm at the moment is that the investigation has been concluded and the board is expected to make a decision at our first meeting of the year at a date still to be decided.“It will be unprofessional and premature to disclose the findings of the investigation to the media at the moment given that the board still has to take a decision after we go through the report.
“At the moment Kaperu remains suspended, but he is still earning his full salary,” Mwandingi said.
Mwandingi added that most of the people at the board have been on leave and that is why Kaperu's investigation report has been delayed
“We remain confident that the matter should be resolved as soon as possible in order for the boxing board to start the year in a good way.
“There are certain plans we have to discuss about and that is going to be at our first meeting of the year,” he said. Edgard Modise is the acting chief administrator until the matter between Kaperu and the boxing board is resolved.
When contacted for comment, Kaperu said he would rather not speak about the saga until the situation was resolved.
“I do not know anything at the moment and will not be able to talk about that. I do believe the right people to talk to are the board officials,” Kaperu said.
