Drunk Namibia players went on the rampage in Witbank on Saturday night, trashing a room at their hotel and causing damage estimated at R5 000.

Three players, whose identities are being withheld by authorities, were responsible for setting off a fire extinguisher in their room, breaking a mirror, the locks of the hotel room door and throwing a litre of Lucozade all over the carpets, the management of the Protea Hotel in Witbank said.

Fire authorities were also needlessly called out after the players set off the fire extinguisher.

A claim for the damages is to be made against the team, which left the hotel on Sunday morning for Johannesburg, where they are to catch a flight back to Windhoek. New carpets, mirror and door locks have to be installed.

Namibia lost 1-0 to South Africa’s Development Team in their Cosafa Senior Challenge quarterfinal in Witbank on Saturday.

they obviously wanted something stronger than Lucozade...
...or they were clearly not happy about having to go home to Windhoek after staying in a beautiful place like Witbank...ha-ha

And these guys are supposed to be role models.Lets just hope their"rampage" had nothing to do with fact that they lost to a development side.

This definitely not the kind of behaviour that the Namibian Nation is expecting from our sports ambassadors. I hope the culprits will be expose and bring to book by the authorities.
