Para-athletes hope for better year
2021-01-06
Secretary general of the Namibia Paralympics Committee (NPC) Michael Hamukwaya says they would like to hand every Namibian living with a disability the opportunity to partake in sport.
In an interview yesterday, Hamukwaya said 2020 was one of the difficult years for para-athletes, which saw most of their planned activities being moved to this year due to the disruption caused by Covid-19 pandemic.
He, however, said this year will be much different as they plan on giving fair opportunities to people with disabilities to partake in different sport codes.
With sports codes such as wheelchair basketball on the rise, scouts are looking at giving talented athletes the necessary exposure.
