Botswana Dry Port disappoints
Peter Shalulile is Namibia’s hero, as he was the scorer of the winning goal in the dying minutes of the game. After trailing 2-1 during the first half, the Warriors came back to win the semi-final match, 3-2. They will now face either Botswana or Mozambique. The whole of Namibia is
in a state of joy and pride, since the National team managed to book a place in this prestigious tournament, way back in 1999. Coach Ricardo Mannetti is the man of the hour and will certainly want to bring the Cosafa Cup back home. Omake! Omake to Brave Warriors!

According to a reliable source this tender was worth more than N$6 million and entailed the tarring of roads in Omaruru. It was awarded to Re-Birth Investment during 2012.

The newspaper was informed that an amount of N$962 247.50 was claimed by Hinanifa during December the same year, while the town’s councillors was on recess. Apparently Ganaseb, in his capacity as CEO of the town, approved the claim on his own. The project’s consultant was allegedly not informed about the claim and/ or payment to Hinanifa.
