   [ 1] SK Windhoek

NB: the 1990 edition was the first;
    some sources credit Black Africa with winning the 1997 edition but
    that is certainly wrong and refers to the Metlife Superchamp Cup;
    cup wins reported for Orlando Pirates (1986 and 1990) and Young Ones
    (1988) must refer to a different tournament.

1986     African Stars (Windhoek)    1-0 Blue Waters (Walvis Bay)

    predecessor of NFA Cup; Ramblers only won it in 1977 and 1985;
    African Stars reportedly won 'the' Cup in 1977 and 1979, but
    the actual name of the trophy they claimed is not known.

2007     Ramblers (Windhoek)         2-0 Black Africa (Windhoek)  

NB: Blue Waters' win in 2005 was their third; Civics had played and lost
    4 finals prior to 2006, losing once against Chief Santos  and three
    times (?!) against Blue Waters, twice on penalties
