Namibia: Ohorongo Cement has donated US$84,450 of cement to the Namibian government. One truckload of cement will be donated to each of the country's 14 regions for the silver jubilee independence celebrations and the general development of Namibia.

According to the permanent secretary in the office of the prime minister and chairperson of the Independence Committee, Nangula Mbako, the cement will be handed to the governor of each region. The governors will be tasked in-house to identify a project within the region that they would like to use the cement for.

"The timing of this donation is perfect and the government is grateful to Ohorongo Cement for their contribution towards the development of Namibia and its people. It is a lot of cement," said Mbako.

"We want to make a difference and support our government to leave a lasting legacy for all Namibians," said Hans-Wilhelm Schütte, managing director of Ohorongo Cement. Besides the latest donation, Ohorongo Cement has invested US$548,928 as corporate social investment already since it began production, according to Schütte.
