SOUNDBITE (English): KENNETH MATENGU, Vice chancellor of the University of Namibia
"(This has been) the 23rd of our college students' competition and the 17th for the secondary. And it's so far the largest we have had. I'm very pleased that we have been able to gather so many young people from secondary schools. And of course, the university is participating. We hope we can have a bigger event next year by increasing teaching sites. I'm very pleased that the quality and the level of the expression of Chinese are increasing all the time. It's a wonderful opportunity that we can give to our students and learners."
The competitions featured various activities, including speeches, song performances, quizzes, and demonstrations of various Chinese cultural talents, including calligraphy, with Sedney Teko winning the university contest and Angela Shoombe the secondary school category.
The two winners received tokens of appreciation in the form of cellphones and smartwatches and the opportunity to travel to China for the 2024 "Chinese Bridge" Competition.
Chinese Ambassador to Namibia Zhao Weiping commended the students for their efforts, and pledged continued support.
"We need to add more teaching sites to catch up with the reality. As Chinese ambassador, I would like to get more resources for that purpose," he said. "I do hope that with our joint efforts, Chinese language teaching will benefit more Namibian people."
