JJD says no to NFA presidency race
Jesse Jackson Kauraisa
Former Namibia Premier League (NPL) chairman Johnny Doeseb has distanced himself from the Namibia Football Association (NFA) presidency race, saying he is only interested in taking care of his businesses and family.
With the NFA congress slated for December, the names of people who may be interested in the hot seat have emerged. This is especially so, given the possibility that the incumbent, Frans Mbidi, might opt to step down for good, amid a constitutional wrangle over his candidacy.
Doeseb, Black Africa boss Ranga Haikali and top football administrator Isaac Hamata are among those suggested by members of the public to take over the position.
“It is a nice gesture from people, but I seriously will not want to mix myself into football affairs anymore. I am done. All I want to do now is take care of my family and my business, which I feel needs me more,” Doeseb said.
Doeseb resigned from the NPL in February 2017, citing “tribalism and backstabbing” as the primary reasons for his departure.
Doeseb had held the league chairperson post since 2008.
Haikali and Hamata could not be reached for comment.
