2. AWIBA 2021 – Winner

The Gender Equity Commission opted for Mrs. Lynn  du Preez (Namibia) to receive the African Women in Badminton Award 2021.  Mrs. du Preez has been elected as President of the National Federation in Namibia in 2021 and she is almost singlehandedly running the federation there after the resignation of the last President.  Badminton is only practiced in Orangemund, a remote and small mining town where Lynn lives – if not for her, the federation would have been inactive.  For the past 15 years, she has dedicated her life to badminton and coached hundreds of young children including the African Champion Johanita Scholtz, who started badminton with her and later on went to play for South Africa.

Since she is a delegate coming for the AGM, we will make the official announcement of the AWIBA winner during the AGM. Therefore, appreciate to not share this information for the time being.
