It’s off to Zambia for municipal games teams

The Council of the municipality of Walvis Bay provided a budgeted N$200 000 for municipal employees to compete in the Southern African Inter-Municipal Sports Association SAIMSA Games from 22 to 27 September in Lusaka, Zambia.

The total budget for the participation is set at N$366 530-58. Taking into account the allocated budget from Council of N$200 000, the shortfall of N$166 530-58 had to be funded by the municipality social club contribution (N$94 530-58) and own contributions by employees N$72 000-00.
A total of 48 personnel members of the Walvis Bay municipality will be competing in the SAIMSA Games in volleyball (2 teams), pool/snooker (1 team), a fun walk (people), netball (2 teams) and darts (1 team). I have no doubt that they will represent Walvis Bay well and bring home medals and trophies as usual” the mayor Alderman Immanuel Wilfried said on Tuesday night.
