NAUGHTY NAMIBIANS ESCAPE PUNISHMENT

NAMIBIAN football officials will not take action against officials and players who slept with prostitutes before an African youth championship match in Tanzania. Media reports on Monday quoted national football association president Petrus Damaseb saying he wanted to save the footballers and their parents from further embarrassment. Tanzania triumphed 2-0 in Dar es Salaam and won the return match by the same score in Windhoek to qualify for a first-round clash with Mozambique during August.
