Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The 2024 State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) sports games will commence today and end Saturday in the northern town of Oshakati, with teams set to battle it out for honours.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the Public Enterprises CEO\u2019s Forum, Fluksman Samuehl, said the games are aimed at strengthening ties and networking among state-owned enterprises.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis platform further allows us to exchange views on governance, reflect deeply in terms of overall management of public enterprises and renew our commitments to the service of the Namibian people through the privileged positions we occupy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs leaders of public enterprises, this opportunity allows us to learn from one another, strengthen cooperation among public enterprises and unite our employees through sports,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s 9th annual games will see over 30 enterprises with more than 1 500 participants competing in eight sports codes, namely football, netball, tug-of-war, 4×100 metres for men and women, 10-kilometre run and volleyball, snooker\/pool and darts.<\/p>\n

Samuehl called on residents of Oshana and surrounding regions to come in their numbers and witness various teams engage in a competitive sporting spirit.<\/p>\n

He also said they expect stiff competition at this year\u2019s games which have been in existence since 2015.<\/p>\n

Last year saw NamWater dominating the three-day event held in Rietfontein, Otjozondjupa region when they won the women\u2019s and men\u2019s 10-kilometre races, women\u2019s relay, mixed tug-of-war, and netball.<\/p>\n
