The Nkambe Mayor's Inclusive Sports for Health (MISH) has ended on a positive note with thousands reached during the two long programme. There was fanfare and trumpet blasts at the Nkambe municipal stadium on Saturday September 3, where an estimated 15,000 people gathered to usher in MISH splendid activities. From 9 am, sounds of drumbeats, vuvuzelas and the gongs could be heard echoing on the hills of GBHS Nkambe, down to the valleys of Tabenken, Njap and Bongom before sending back the echoes into the rocky hills of Nwangri, Wat and Chup. Eventhough the event was happening during the heart of the harvest season, the crowd at the Nkambe municipal stadium proved to it that many people had to forgo going to farm to commune with mayor Musa Shey Nfor.
Those who were previledged to attend the final day of MISH went back home more convinced than when they were going that Musa Shey Nfor, mayor of Nkambe himself is a savvy sassy inclusive innovator. The idea of onboarding horse race, cycling race for people living with disabilities as well as the male and female football tournament was saluted by all and sundry. Sports is unifying factor and has proven beyond reasonable doubts to rekindle hopes.
Valorising local partnership
One aspect that made the Nkambe Mayor's Inclusive Sports For Health an outstanding success was his ability to valorize local partners in development. In order to boost the health of the population, the programme in collaboration with the Nkambe health district and the CBC health service jointly organize free eye screening and check ups. Hundreds were given medical treatment at absolutely no franc. To Pa Nyanshi, who benefited from the outdoor free medical services, the initiative was so laudable. Besides, the Nkambe council equally used the opportunity to demonstrate it's knack in local fund raising. Cameroon Telecommunication, CAMTEL was also present to grease the programme. Co-sponsoring was visible with H.E Shey Jones Yembe, Hon. Gerard Ngala and Talla Nji Godlove and more 100 cheerful givers lining up to support the initiative. More so, the mayor also used the tournament to call on each and everyone to send their kids to school. Mayor Musa Shey Nfor also distributed school items to children to make sure that there is 100% school resumption in his council areas
Football Final
The football tournament was the peak of the event with over 30 teams participating. The teams came from Nkambe zone, Njap zone, Tabenken zone and Bih zone. Notwithstanding the fact that there was a football team from Ako sub Division.
On Saturday, Mansoh United that washed-washed Baraki FC in the semi finals clashed with Blue Stars FC that eliminated Formation Sango in the semi finals. This was a clash of the Titans as both teams have walked majestically to the finals eliminating some of the toughest. But since in a football tournament, there is always a loser and a winner, Blue Stars FC defeated Mansoh FC, 2 goals to zero to win the first edition of MISH
