Namibia stormed into the 2022 Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (Cosafa) Cup finals following a hard-fought one-nil victory over Mozambique yesterday at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, South Africa.
Namibia scored first through Bethuel Muzeu, who slammed an unstoppable shot on the turn in the sixth minute for his first ever international goal in only his second cap.
Absalom Iimbondi exchanged passes with captain Dynamo Fredericks and rode a tackle from a Mozambique defender before crossing for Marcel Papama.
The midfielder’s attempted shot with his weaker right foot fell kindly to Muzeu, whose first touch set him up for a cracking volley which beat the Mozambique goalkeeper all systems out.
The two teams created several chances, with Iimbondi coming close midway through the half, but he saw his effort parried for a corner kick by the goalkeeper.
Mozambique dominated possession, forcing the Brave Warriors to sit deep and defend, but failed to use their dominance as Denzil Haoseb and Kennedy Amutenya stood resolute.
Shaquille Momad da Conceicao Nangy wasted two golden chances in the first half and another one right at the end of the match as the Brave Warriors reached their fourth Cosafa Cup final.

Namibia’s water utility NamWater yesterday inaugurated a desalination plant
Namibia’s water utility NamWater yesterday inaugurated a desalination plant at Bethanie in the Kharas Region, powered by hybrid renewable energy and membrane technology, which improves and treats poor-quality groundwater.
The desalination plant was built to a tune of N.dollars 37 million, between October 2020 and October 2021 at the village situated 130 kilometres west of Keetmanshoop. It has a population of about 2000 inhabitants.
Speaking during the inauguration ceremony Namwater Chief Executive Officer, Abraham Nehemia, said the desalination plant will help a lot of households that use groundwater, polluted with salt.
“The supply of water of the right quantity and quality has to be sustainable to ensure uninterrupted water service to the entire population and their associated economic and social activities,” he said.
Nehemia also said the realisation of such projects required concerted efforts, specialised and distinctive skills, dedication and the necessary resources.
