DSN annual awards tonight
The event will see Namibia Paralympic Committee and Namibia Deaf Sports Federation athletes, guides and coaches receive recognition for their performances.
Disability Sport Namibia (DSN) will today host the seventh edition of the annual awards in Windhoek.
Special Olympics Namibia (SON) usually forms part of the event but not this year after DSN recently terminated its membership because of various reasons, including mismanagement.
SON was earlier this year also stripped of its licence by its mother body, Special Olympics International, due to alleged misappropriation of funds, maladministration and lack of financial supporting documents, among other issues.
“The aim of the event is to recognise and reward athletes with disabilities for their accomplishments in 2016/17,” DSN president Gideon Nasilowski told Nampa on Tuesday.
The Namibia Power Corporation and the Motor Vehicle Accident Fund are sponsoring the awards.
