Wellness Games encourage fitter workforce
The second edition of the Wellness Games took place at the Independence Stadium in Windhoek at the weekend.
Twenty-four teams consisting of employees of government ministries and departments were challenged to compete in seven-a-side football, volleyball, netball, relay running and tug of war.
Gabriel Katuuo, a sport officer in the Ministry of Sport, said the aim of the event was to bring colleagues from the different governmental sectors together.
The Namibia Correctional Services were the overall winners of the games as they won the relay, football, netball and tug of war.
The runners-up were NamPower, and Team Shell took the third spot.
Katuuo said this year's event was well attended and all the teams were punctual.
“Participating departments suggested that we have the tournament twice a year. Everything ran as planned and the event was better in terms of competitiveness and turnout. Staff from the ministry of health was on site for any emergency,” he added.
