Xwama's Kadhikwa to Bannerman

Bannerman Mining Resources Limited this week announced the appointment of Twapewa Kadhikwa as a director of the company. This appointment coincides with First Lady Monica Kalondo''s resignation after serving the company as a director since 2010. Bannerman has been focused on developing the Etango uranium project since 2005. After completing its feasibility study in 2012, Bannerman has successfully built and operated a demonstration plant over the last two years. Kadhikwa is a successful Namibian businesswoman and a role model for young entrepreneurs. In addition to her impressive business track record, Kadhikwa brings to the company a passion for SME development that has evolved into the Twapewa Kadhikwa Entrepreneurship Development Programme, which conducts entrepreneurship mentoring and training for SME business owners. These skills and insights will be invaluable in furthering Bannerman''s commitment to maximising the SME opportunities to emerge from the development of the Etango uranium project. Kadhikwa said, “Being appointed as a director for Bannerman Mining Resources Namibia is a humbling honour and responsibility, one that I intend to fulfil and do justice to. As a daughter of the Namibian soil, I recognise that Bannerman represents the true sense of great corporate citizenry and playing a role in its growth is a journey worthwhile.” Geingos has stepped down from the board as part of her scaling down and realignment of corporate interests. The managing director of Bannerman Namibia, Werner Ewald, said, “Geingos has been a tremendous guiding hand for Bannerman over the last six years, a period during which we have had remarkable support from our Namibian stakeholders in the face of a crippling uranium industry downturn after the Fukushima incident. Bannerman is very grateful for the wisdom Geingos has shared with us during this difficult period.” Geingos said, “Bannerman has shown exemplary conduct in the crucial areas of corporate social responsibility, environmental care, employee relations and governance. I have been proud to be involved with Bannerman and wish Werner Ewald and his team the very best for the future.” The board of directors of Bannerman Mining Resources now consists of Kadhikwa (independent director), Ewald (managing director) and Brandon Munro as chairperson.STAFF REPORTER
