It has brought together the epitome of football. We have seen it through the highs and lows of Namibian football,\u201d says MTC corporate affairs manager John Ekongo.<\/p>\n<p>Proceeds of the event will be handed over to the Geingob family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have celebrated great achievement through that, but more so, it is the impact that the cup has had on Namibian society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reference of the late president, Hage Geingob, who was not only a patron of football in Namibia, but generally a sport lover.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe message that is always toned with football was about inclusivity and together we can achieve more,\u201d Ekongo says.<\/p>\n<p>Bronwyn Moody from Bank Windhoek echoes Ekongo\u2019s remarks while encouraging the public to come and revel in the entertainment on offer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt truly is a bittersweet moment for us to say that this is our final edition of the Dr Hage Geingob Cup. Let us make sure that we encourage the public to come in numbers and support the tenth and final edition of the Dr Hage Geingob Cup. Let\u2019s fill up the stadium again,\u201d says Moody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are honoured to have been an enabler in supporting the organising teams and making sure that the legacy of our president lives on. On behalf of our fellow partners, we really look forward to having you all here,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Musicians Dj Vuyo, Dj Shoza, Tate Buti, Latoya Stella, Sunny Boy, Erro and Reeziana will add to the entertainment at the occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Organising committee chief Amos Shiyuka says the event makes use of artistes from home and not abroad because they want to reinvest in the local talent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to celebrate on our own,\u201d Shiyuka says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can draw crowds with our own teams. We can draw crowds with our own artistes. And I hope that message goes across the industry and to all other corporations having events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
