Former Desert Jewels attacking player Vijanda Kamberipa has brought her decorated playing career full circle by taking over as head coach of the national under-19 netball team.
The retired player, who starred for Unam and the Desert Jewels during her heyday, was born at Aminuis and raised at Omitiomire in the Omaheke region.
Her school career started in Windhoek.
“I started my Grade 1 at Maarti Ahtisaari Primary School in Wanaheda in Katutura, and it is also where I started playing netball in Grade 4.
“I was drafted into the goalkeeper position from the word go. However, I loved shooting like any other girl in that era. My career took an upturn when I went to high school.”
It was when she was a Grade 11 pupil at Jan Möhr Secondary School that she was recruited by the star-studded Civics.
Kamberipa says she wants to be remembered as a ‘silent killer’ on the court and an introvert off the court.
