annerman is an ardent supporter of Mondesa Youth Opportunities (MYO) as it helps
to develop leadership skills and teaches learners to be solid citizens of the future.
One of the recent significant enhancements to this after-school learning centre saw
the computer room being upgraded to provide the young learners with a conducive
learning environment for much-needed 21st Century digital skills.
MYO focuses on educating the whole child, providing students from Grade 4-8 with
supplementary skills development in subjects including English, Mathematics, Life
Skills, Reading, Computer Science, Music and Sports.

UPDATE FROM OUR STAKEHOLDERS
ix months after the launch of the One Economy Foundation’s #BeFree Youth
Campus in Katutura, the management team officially handed over a new site for
Phase 2 of the campus in March 2024. Phase 2 will focus on life skills, innovation, skills
development and youth entrepreneurship.
The #BeFree Youth Campus is the largest public-private partnership in youth
development in Namibia and Bannerman is proud to support this initiative. The
youth campus is a one-stop solution for young people from the ages of 13 to 35 to
receive integrated multidisciplinary services aimed to help them #BeFree from what
limits their potential. Since its launch in September 2023, the campus has rolled out
a variety of after-school programmes ranging from e-learning, robotics, computer
literacy, chess club, wellness Wednesdays, majita male-engagement Mondays,
#befree fitness and self-defense programmes, as well as the booklover’s club.
OEF PREPARES FOR PHASE 2
Green moment
artmut Dichtl, mechanical engineer, won the Carbon Challenge in the first
edition of Omasa for his suggestion to alternate a “safety” moment with
a “green” moment at site meetings. When Hartmut was advised of his A$100
winnings, he said: “I will put the money where my mouth is and buy some books
that we can use to inspire our ‘green moments’ at the Swakopmund office.”
The books Hartmut bought to share with his colleagues are
featured alongside.
SHARING A GREEN MOMENT
Ministry of Mines and Energy
What stood out to me was the overwhelmingly
positive and inspiring sentiments from stakeholders
who have closely worked with Bannerman.
During a visit to the Ministry of Mines and Energy are (from left): Ms Twapewa Kadhikwa, Chairperson Bannerman
Namibia; Mining Commissioner Ms Isabella Chirchir; Mr Ronnie Beevor, former Non-Executive Chairman; Deputy
Minister Honourable Kornelia Shilunga; Mr Brandon Munro, Executive Chairman, and Ms Matjiua Hengua, Senior
Stakeholder Relations Advisor – Bannerman Namibia.
The presentation was simplified and answered most
FAQs. A great deal of respect and appreciation was
evident for the inclusive approach Bannerman has
taken in terms of staff, community and environment.
Comments from people who attended
our stakeholder functions:
n February, our new Executive Chairman, Brandon Munro, and Ronnie
Beevor, retiring Chairman, visited Namibia to inform stakeholders of the
changes in the leadership team at Bannerman Energy.
Their visit extended to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and included two
stakeholder functions, one in Windhoek and one in Swakopmund. The
Swakopmund function was held at the Namibian Uranium Institute. Her
Worship Dina Namubes, Mayor of Swakopmund, Councillor Goraseb and
Councillor Goldbeck all enjoyed updates on the Etango Uranium Project.
These were provided by Werner Ewald, MD of Namibia, Brandon Munro,
and Ronnie Beevor.
