JUST IN: More wheels for Erongo police
Rössing Uranium has handed over four Erongo police vehicles following repairs undertaken by in-house Rössing Uranium artisans at a value of N$ 350 000.
Erongo regional police commander, commissioner Nikolaus Kupembona, had approached the mine for help to service and repair seven police vehicles from the Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Arandis and Karibib stations.
Speaking at the handover, Rössing Uranium managing director Johan Coetzee said the mine is committed to honouring its corporate social responsibility.
"We are glad that we immediately jumped on board to assist with the repair of the seven vehicles. Having a fully functional fleet is crucial to the Namibian police force's ability to continue with its daily operations."
Coetzee said the police's work benefits everyone and expressed the hope that their support will bring relief to the Erongo police in their efforts to combat crime in the Erongo region.
Important contribution
Kupemboma welcomed the gesture. "The repaired fleet will have a huge impact on crime prevention and combatting, investigations, and general police visibility. We are anticipating an influx of visitors for the festive season, and these vehicles will ensure that we reach all corners of the region."
He added: "The three strategic pillars we are focusing on involve effective policing, building partnerships, and organisational excellence. We therefore welcome Rössing as a stakeholder and encourage other companies to also get involved."
Building on its strong and proud history, Rössing Uranium has been a driving force of positive change in Namibia since its inception in 1976. The legacy of the world’s longest-running open-pit uranium mine can continue to grow, especially beyond its current life-of-mine projection of 2026.
