NSC suspends marketing officer The Namibia Sports Commission (NSC) on Monday suspended its marketing officer, Chalo Chainda, for alleged attempted assault of a colleague. Speaking to Nampa on Wednesday, Chainda confirmed his suspension, but stopped short of revealing the reasons.
“Yes, I was suspended by the NSC on Monday; that is all I can say for now. I would rather have the office give you information about my suspension. Call Walter Haseb, the acting chief administrator at the Namibia Sports Commission, who has all the information,” he said.
Contacted for comment, Haseb also confirmed the suspension but refused to reveal more.
“Yes, he was suspended. We are busy investigating so I cannot give you any more information as I am afraid it will compromise the investigation,” he said.
Chainda’s suspension has led to speculations that the launch of the annual sports awards was postponed as a result of the absence of the marketing officer, who usually runs the glitzy affair.
The 2016 Namibia Sports Awards were to be launched in the capital on Wednesday, but will now be launched next week Thursday.
