The Khomas regional sport office will hold its annual Wellness Games on 20 May at the Independence Stadium in Windhoek.
The second edition of the games will pit government ministries and private companies against one another.
The aim is to bring workers in the public and private sectors together on a social level, as well as to promote healthy lifestyles.
Gabriel Katuuo, the regional sport officer of the Khomas Region who started the initiative, says several sport codes will be included.
“Sport codes include seven-a-side football, netball, volleyball, basketball, tug of war and a 100-metre relay. All ministries, private companies and NGOs with Khomas offices are encouraged to enter this tournament as it is for them to enjoy.”
Katuuo says it’s important for managers to encourage staff to join in the fun.
“We would like to make sure that everyone contributes to the world of sport. Managers should allow their employees time to relax just for the two days which the tournament is taking place in order to find them more productive thereafter,” he says.
Ministries or companies that wish to provide information or services during the competition are welcome and should contact the regional sport office as soon as possible.
All teams are requested to participate in all codes in order to stand a chance of winning a big overall floating trophy apart from medals and other prices. A formal invitation will be sent to ministries and companies. Last year’s winners should turn up to defend their titles. Refreshments will be served at the stadium.
Registration for all the games is free.
