Haseb calls it a day A long-serving administrator at the Namibia Sports Commission (NSC), Walter Haseb, will leave the commission by next month.Haseb, who has been at the commission for close to ten years, tendered his resignation on Monday.
He wanted to quit immediately, but acting chief administrator Peter Wilson said in terms of his employment contract he has to give 30 days'' notice.
The two parties agreed that his last working day will be 28 December.
Haseb was removed from the acting chief administrator position a week ago and returned to his position as head of finance and administration.
The chairman of the commission, Joel Matheus, said Haseb had to attend to the commission''s finances.
Wilson said Haseb was working on a report that he would hand over to Wilson and was also sorting out financial and administrative issues.
Asked about the reasons Haseb gave for his resignation, Wilson said he had cited personal reasons.
He could however not point out the reasons that Haseb cited in his resignation letter, but indicated that Haseb said it was because of personal reasons.
Matheus said the resignation came as a surprise to him.
“He has tendered his resignation and I must say I was surprised as he did not give any reason as to why he is resigning,” he said.
Namibian Sun was reliably informed that Haseb does not want to be in the commission''s structures anymore because of disagreements between him and the commissioners.
Recent media reports indicated that Haseb wanted the newly appointed commissioners recalled by the sport minister.
“I understand his resignation was because of the disagreements that he had with the commissioners so he decided to leave,” said a source who asked to remain anonymous.
Haseb could not be reached for comment.
