Kunene governor Muharukua blames the Opuwo Town Council for selling the region's only stadium. He says Popular Democratic Movement leaders chose money over young people when they sold the land to businessman Shapumba in 2013. The businessman later sold it to Schoeman for about N$5 million without making improvements. Muharukua wants PDM to donate land for a new stadium instead of selling it to the education ministry. He claims the sale hurt sports development throughout the region.
Education official Haitengela says the town council already gave them land for a new stadium. He denies claims that they tried to buy back the original property from Shapumba. PDM spokesperson Mwilima argues that Swapo ran the government when the sale happened. Mayor Mbinge-Tjeundo accuses the governor of playing politics after returning from America. Youth activist Ndala worries about wasting money on another stadium. She questions what would prevent officials from selling public land again.
