Outjo councillor resigns from NFA

Outjo councillor Laurence Kandundu has resigned from the Namibia Football Association executive committee following a Namibia Sports Commission directive about Sport Act compliance.

Commission spokesperson Givean Simulandela yesterday said the issue was not about holding two jobs simultaneously, but about compliance with Section 25 of the act, which prohibits local authority councillors from serving on the executive committee of a sport federation.

“It was just a matter of explaining that particular provision to the affected members and to let them opt where they wish to practice their democratic right, either to continue serving the local authority or continue with their seat on the executive committee of the Namibia Football Association,” he said.
