Uutoni gets sport expo ball rolling

Sports minister Erastus Uutoni has donated N$2 000 from his own wallet to get the ball rolling in terms of funding the first-ever Namibia Annual Sports Expo, which is slated for September next year.Uutoni said he wants to encourage the rest of the nation to come on board, so that the expo materialises.The minister said the expo will unite sport lovers and become a birthplace for ideas.“For years we have relied on the ideas of others, but it is now time for locals to bring forth their own ideas to make the expo a success,” he said. Uutoni also appointed a preparatory committee laden with expertise and knowledge.“I appointed 15 members for the preparatory committee, which will deal with the planning of the highly-anticipated expo.“We want to target sport and youth development, as well as to give a chance to exhibitors to show us their products. We also want to expose athletes to various materials and equipment they can use when competing.“There were a great number of young people (at the stadium) when Namibia played Guinea-Bissau last Saturday. It just goes to show the significance of sport. These are the people whom we are targeting,” the minister said.Uutoni urged sponsors to come on board. The preparatory committee members are as follows: Freddy Mwiya, Tracy Eagles, Reginald Hinda, Annalisa Jeremia, John Kangowa, Gaby Diana Ahrens, Walter Don, Tangeni Kambangula, Hamuntumwa Ndwulipulwa, Jessica Jacobs, Goldon Pokolo, Lettu Hamholo, Llegellyn Koopman, Nico Mwiya and Armas Shivute. The co-opted members are Sackie Shikufa, Manuel Samuel Carballo and Asser Haradoeb.LIMBA MUPETAMI
