To be or not to be. I have opened up this new post for those that may want to contribute on wether Acting SG, Barry Rukoro should get the top CEO post.
After the last contribution by 'OnceAWarrior" (check the Brave Warriors post), i decided to make it a separate topic, whether a new face should be employed or if we would rally behind Rukoro.
Send yo contributions. To be or not to be. What do you think.

Well......................
Thanks goes to you for openning up this post. Sport in general is an amazing thing than anything. It unite people from all sorts of life....But when you see people divided in sports than something is very wrong. Back to NFA CEO and Barry, I strongly believe it is time we get a new person. This things of moving from one position to another and you keep repeating and create the same problems is not doing us any good. I think its time NFA allows a new person to take over CEO position, and Barry can keep his NFA Administration post whatever position he had or Act Secretary General.
I am not against him, but having observe what has happened and still happening when he is still there, I doubt if he can really take our NFA to greater heights. Time has come and time is now to appoint an energetic, creative, ambitious and good person with all the quality and characteristics to turn around the image of our football.
Cheers!

Come-On Eliphas, what do u mean you don't know?
We need everyone's views here. When soccer falls, u will be the same guys who will be crying foul. Now is the time to have our views heard. We can help advise NFA Executive Committee, with our views. Should Barry be given the post or should someone new take it?
Unless you do not follow soccer, then u have the right to remain silent for anything u may say can and maybe used to destroy football.
Here are a few tips:
1. Rukoro has been at Soccer House as a junior officer for the past decade. And he has matured to be a great leader for the past six months he has been acting.
2. A new face will bring fresher ideas and innovation.
3. It has come to my attention that the snake in the football's shadow was the Gawaseb and Damaseb era. After thier exit, soccer has changed for the better. The juniors like Barry, Boy Ndhjadhila and TItus Kunamuene are now firmly in control and have visibly won the trust of the corporate sector.
So where do you think Rukoro should be put. New Top Job, or he keeps his old one.
Remember when the CEO position is unveiled, the Secretary General position will be reliquished?
Let's deliberate!

Greetings In Name of the Most High.....
I am sad to have read in the latest edition of informanet that the Minister thinks that all is well in Namibian football.
You posed the Question if the acting Secretary General of the NFA should get the CEO post……..I have to ask you the question of the 10 years or so (under correction) that Mr. Rukoro has spent as a influential leader of the NFA what has been his major achievements…what positive changes has he asserted on Football in this country,….mind you 10 years is a long time indeed.I have to hand it to him he is a survivor and if anything he his a very good politician….but as a football administrator well…….The NBC debacle(did he really go back too the NBC after he game ,the Saturday night and asked them to show the game…. after the whole episode of the court order…..what was the point)…..amidst the new found euphoria surrounding the national team…there are petty issues that refuse to go away, and they have been going on for far too long….. and continue to be unresolved e.g. foreign based players paying their own airfare and waiting for ever to get refunded just to mention a few…and money being a sensetive issue with players….surely there is a better way to handle the matter.
Can the acting SG please do us a favor and shedsome light on the following….
1. When is the NPL going to be a fully fledge semi professional league….its been more than five year since this idea was 1st taunted and how does the current leadership see itself achieving this elusive goal. Where is the Blue Print of the semi pro league.
2. NFC agreement in my humble option is harming football and it needs to be revised in the interest of football…..… what are chances of revising it, this type of agreement probably only exist in Namibia. how the leadership signed that document in its current state will have a catastrophic impact on the development of football….other stakeholders are needed to take the game to the next level….NFC is applauded for its efforts but at the same time it should not hold football ramson.
3. The NPL has to be an autonomous body from the NFA….in the world of footballdom this type of arrangement only exist in Namibia and its not healthy for the clubs….and the sooner NFA realize this the better…what are the advantages of this agreement anyway because 3 or 4 season down the line things on the football pitch have not improved.
4. What is the turn around strategy concerning the debt that is allegedly crippling the efforts of the NFA or will remain unresolved so that everytime something go wrong then we’ll just keep referring to it as the stumbling block against progress?
5. There is bad trend of NPL clubs poaching player from lower division club and in some cases this players are sold on to foreign clubs for a healthy some….what is the NFA going to do to ensure that clubs that develop this players at least gain something for their efforts in grooming and giving the first taste of competitive football to these youngsters.
6. The current structure in the Nationwide 1st Division is not working; it does not take a genius to see that….what is the NFA going to do about it….it has proved to be a bad idea from the very beginning.
7. When is the NFA going to put a proper youth structure in place….and please don’t tell us about the different tournaments that are being played all over the place…that is not youth development…we need to start talking about an academy and we all know that it is the only way forward and there is no short cuts…it’s a proven formular the world over…..the 1st thing that C Perriera said when he started to work in SA was that youth development is priority…so what are we waiting for?
8. Surely there is a better way to utilize the monies being sponsored for tournaments e.g the news paper cup…there is no continuity from this tournament…I hate to say it but it does not serve any purpose…it is monies being thrown away……with this monies the NFA can advice the sponsors to put the money in a 3 or 4 year program e.g. 20 national team, were by a group of boys a identified and housed together and train to prepare them for tournaments properly well in advance surely this is better than what is happening at the moment.
9. Does the NFA have short term and long term objectives…….what are they.
10. The NFA awards were sham…..How the achievement of Oshakati City seem to miss everybody at soccer house is down right criminal….even the national team has followed suite, second best team in the country does not have players that are worthy of a national team call up….but some youngsters playing, regional football are……I am sure if it was a Whk team that finished that high….we could have at least seen 2 of the players in the team…A stars players are being recognized after their NFA cup win and rightly so but that somehow does not apply to City.
Lastly contrary to what the Honorable Minister suggest….we (the few elements that do not trust the NFA leadership) are infact crying out for change and if it is happening at all, it is happening at snail pace and 10 years down the line with more a less the same people running football…I feel we do have the right to feel aggrieved…I believe the sucsses of our national teams should be the yardstick we measure how well things are being done…and since ’98 its been donwhill ever since and judging by our recent record….it willbe a long time before things change, because 10 years down the line it is us who are spending thousands of our hard earn monies season after season running football clubs who are affected by a lack of professionalism and transparency from the NFA,but that’s not the point…..the point is football in this country is at its lowest ebb….and yes we need academics who will understand what they are signing (NFC agreement) and who will take Football to the next level by negotiating deals that will truly benefit football and at the same time push the development of the game….we only have to look across the boarder to the PSL and see the impact the academics and business minded people who are running football have on the game…the amount of revenue that being pumped in to the game over there is unheard off……. We need to change our attitude and stop accepting mediocrity and aspire for excellence….not applaud people who have been trying for ten years…that is unacceptable.
Yours in Football
BLESSED

No, no. On my side i think there must be a BIG no, because i think he is one of those that affect Oshakati city from not getting any award, while they had a good season and end up as runners up. Do u think Oshakatifc dont have good players. Why did they give the award for the best improved team to Civics? Not to City? coz Civics won the tittle all those season. Nie Mr. Noa must do something in NFA.
Good luck to the warriors in the COSAFA cup.

Well well well, for the first time, i find myself in disagreement with OnceAWarrior.
I moved up that point of debating on whether Rukoro is the best man. And i think i am getting the necessary responce.For the record, YoursTruly's personal view is that change at this critical moment is suicidal.
Why i am saying so is that: last year i pionered the revolution by attacking the then adminstration, left, right and centre.
It was during that period that i saw the Gentiles and the Samaritans of soccer house.
Having led the ouster of Gawaseb, (of which i had already pushed Rukoro's name for the position of SG thru my column) i went on to continue attacking the NFA for many more changes.
Now i have come to the point of realising that we should all come on board to lead the nation to 2010. Forget 2008.
Since i advocated Rukoro, Ndhjdhila and many others, (i never made my position known on the Presidency,remember), i came to realise that the NFA Presidency is just a ceremonial position and i cannot again call for more change.
I got what i wanted. Which was to get rid of the Gawaseb and the Damasebs of the then adminstration.
It's only in Ukraine where people remove a dictator from power and install thier favourite leader and then come back in two months to remove the same person, they installed.\
The reason why most of you do not want the successors of Gawaseb is because you lost faith in them when they were juniors to Damaseb and Gawaseb. But what about the stuff that has been achieved for the last 8 months? Can we not give credit to that as well?
I do not think the current admin will walk in the footsteps of the then leaders. For whoever walks in the footsteps o others leaves no trace at all.
So Mr OnceAWarrior ad you Bra Elly as well as the other masses, since i will take yo advise of not giving Rukoro the post, can u also give the solution to the positions of CEO.
I admit NFA blundered with the awards. However, the worst is yet to come. Wait for the FNB Sports Awards, u will be shocked.
Apparently, there is this norm that awards are supposed to be organised by an independent body. Rukoro had nothing to do with the awards this time.
Last year, he was involved coz he was not yet SG.
Tim Isaacs( From Civics and national team Manager) and a certain Keith Allies were the huge hands involved in this year's awards.
I confronted them after the awards and told them in thier faces that they were killing football. Rukoro was there and he remained quiet coz the Executive Committee (his paymasters) did not give him a role in the awards.
Please when u respond to this, give me the solutions so that i can write them in the next edition. I proposed in the last edition that we have a FIFA official who will come and train people on Football development etc.
What do u propose. I may need names as well....
