The Acting Minister of Public Enterprises, Honourable Ipumbu Shiimi, announced the extension of the Namibia Wildlife Resorts Board Members’ term of office temporarily from 15 June until 14 December 2022.

The board, whose contracts ended on 14 June 2022, was extended for another six months, pending the finalization of the recruitment of new board members to enable a smooth and orderly handover.

The board that has already served two terms was recently applauded at the institution’s recently concluded Annual General Meeting for, amongst others, bringing NWR’s financial reports up to date, conforming to the Public Enterprises and Procurement Acts and, most recently, for

setting an example in cutting their board fees when the company experienced cash flow constraints due to the Covid pandemic.

The 7 Board members are Board Chairperson Ambassador Leonard lipumbu, Janet Wilson Moore (Deputy Chairperson), Elize Petersen, Ruddie Putter, Bernd Schneider, Eva Shifotoka and Carol Williams.
