TSUMEB residents are in for a treat where business meets business during the first-ever Tsumeb Enter-Sports Fun Day, also known as “The FEST.”
The event is scheduled for 30-31 August 2024 at Oscar Norich Stadium.
Event organizer and founder of Ajrone Trading Enterprises CC, Alex Garosab, said the event aims to entertain and provide entrepreneurship, sports, and fun day gaming opportunities to both in-school youth (learners/students) and out-of-school youth (school dropouts, graduates, unemployed youth, and young entrepreneurs).
This includes the local community of Tsumeb and its surrounding areas.
According to Garosab, bringing together different entrepreneurs can give many a chance to expand their business knowledge as well as gain new or additional customers.
“Through such an initiative, many businesses and creative ideas will be exposed not only locally but nationally as well, boosting entrepreneurial confidence among young business-minded individuals,” he said.
He added that learners and students studying entrepreneurship as a subject or module can gain practical experience by booking a stall and participating in the business world.
Garosab indicated that several sports codes, such as 7-a-side soccer, netball, and volleyball, will also be hosted, where interested parties can register their teams for fun and rewards.
“One does not need to belong to a registered sports club/team. With this event, individuals are free to create their own teams with friends, family, colleagues, etc., and register for a fair fee to win great rewards that they can share amongst themselves,” he added.
He explained that this approach gives those who have always wanted to be part of clubs but never got the chance, for different reasons, an opportunity to participate.
Furthermore, he said this event can also help existing clubs and sports coaches scout for new talent and turn them into future national stars.
Moreover, Garosab said that youth empowerment, encouragement, motivation, and entertainment are very important in any society and are taken seriously by their business.
He invited parents to come support and motivate their young ones, as well as enjoy some family relaxation time. Other businesses, organizations, government bodies, and the entire community are welcome to join this event, which they plan to host annually around the same time.
All registration forms are available at the Tsumeb PS Gaming Zone, Sida !Hanab.
