You see obstacles as opportunities, and as a nation and bank, we are very proud of you.”
Henk Botha, coach of the two stars thanked FNB Namibia in his address and said that the bank has always been a supporter of sport in the country. “Without partners like FNB, this is almost impossible to do, even helping us to go to Kenya to be part of this world stage event.
