The chairperson of the African Union Sports Council (AUSC) Region 5 Youth Games Local Organising Committee, Ndeulipula Hamutumwa, has confirmed that competition venues are nearly ready ahead of next week’s official launch of the Games in Windhoek and Swakopmund.

Hamutumwa told this publication that the organising team has been working around the clock for the past month and is pleased to report that most venues are almost complete.

“By Friday, all facilities will be fully operational. It’s now just a matter of final cleaning,” he said.

“Venues such as the Windhoek Showgrounds, Hage Geingob Stadium, the University of Namibia (Unam) as the Games Village, the United Nations (UN) Plaza and Swakopmund’s Vineta facilities (set to host athletics and swimming) are all complete.

“We are now just finalising minor cosmetic touches. The after-school centre in Katutura, which will host boxing, is also nearly ready. Team Angola is expected to be the first delegation to arrive on Sunday,” Hamutumwa confirmed.
