Kashera rewarded for Commonwealth performance
The Maria Mwengere Secondary School rewarded one of its teachers, Patrick Kashera, with a certificate of excellence for managing Jonas Junias, who brought home a gold medal from the 2018 Commonwealth Games held in Australia recently.
Kashera was the national boxing team's head coach and team manager, together with Israel Hamutumbangela from the Ohangwena Region at the games, which concluded recently.
The two coached Junias to a gold medal performance in the 64kg light welterweight category at the competition.
During the handing over ceremony of the certificate last week, MWSS principal Venislaus Kudumo said Kashera did an exceptional job with the task of coaching that was given to him.
“What I am most proud of is that whenever they are going to talk about Kashera, there will always be mention of the school. That, to me stands out very much,” Kudumo said.
Kashera told Nampa on Sunday that Jonas was placed in a very challenging division that had experienced boxers, but triumphed because he already had the enthusiasm to bring home a gold medal.
“As coaches we had to guide him, train with him and encourage him,” Kashera said.
