Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Namibia\u2019s ambassador to the Ivory Coast Selma Ashipala-Musavyi has called on the corporate sector in Namibia to collaborate with the government to develop sports infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Ashipala-Musavyi was speaking to Nampa during the \u2018Invest in Korhogo\u2019 business forum organised by the Centre for the Promotion of Investments in Co\u0302te d\u2019Ivoire (CEPICI) and the Ivory Coast embassy in South Africa, which coincided with the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).<\/p>\n

The ambassador said being at the tournament has shown her how the government and corporate sector can collaborate to develop sports in Namibia.<\/p>\n

\u201cNamibia has nothing to learn; Namibia just has to do. We need to improve our sports infrastructure, and this is not only the job of the government, but corporates as well,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n

The ambassador said the first-class stadium in Korhogo, where she watched the Brave Warriors play, has demonstrated the need for Namibia to invest in sports infrastructure at all levels because such investment will change the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we invest in sports at all levels, Namibia will change. With the Brave Warriors competing at Afcon, everyone is talking about sports. We need to invest in infrastructure and sports at a very early age, and sports will change in our country,\u201d Ashipala-Musavyi added.<\/p>\n

The ambassador further stated that the national team surprised her by winning the opening match against Tunisia.<\/p>\n

\u201cSports has a unifying power that can surpass even diplomacy. Namibia\u2019s recent victory against Tunisia has put the country on the world map, and has made it easier for us diplomats to explain where it is located.<\/p>\n

This win has increased Namibia\u2019s visibility, and helped to create a positive image for the country,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ashipala-Musavyi also called on the players not to be complacent by taking it one game at a time, and to realise their dream of progressing through the competition.<\/p>\n
