Fueled with the conviction that; sports and in particular rugby is poised to play an integral part in repositioning Lüderitz as a mecca for sports athletes and contribute to the socio-economic development of the town. His Worship, the Mayor Hon. Cllr. Phillippus A. Balhao engaged the Namibia Rugby Union represented by the Chief Executive Officer Mr. John Heynes to set up shop in Lüderitz. NRU will be in Lüderitz as from 2024 to facilitate the sport code amongst scholars and adults and as a sign of faith, His Worship was handed over a Namibian supporters jersey from the recently concluded Rugby World Cup in France.
