Tafel Lager supports drought relief fund

In its pursuit to be a catalyst for positive change, Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) – a subsidiary of the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group – through its trademark beer brand Tafel Lager donated more than N$500 000 the Dare to Care drought relief fund.In 2019, Tafel Lager hosted a consumer campaign that resulted in many Namibians walking away with great prizes. Although the campaign was a tremendous success, not all the prize money was won. Tafel Lager thus made the decision to donate the remaining amount of N$ 585 000 the fund administered by the Namibia Agricultural Union (NAU) and the Namibian Emerging Commercial Farmers Union's (NECFU). NBL managing director Marco Wenk officially handed over the donation at the end of January. “Sadly, Namibia is still suffering dire consequences of severe drought, and our farmers – amongst others – are some of those worst affected by this unfortunate situation. We have great respect and appreciation for the efforts made by the respective unions to assist our farmers during this time, and are thus extremely happy that we can contribute to their efforts through this donation to the fund.”He further expressed hope that the donation will make a difference in supporting local farming, which he said plays a major role in building the Namibian economy.“We are extremely thankful for this generous contribution to the drought relief fund. Together with the NECFU, we will allocate and utilise these funds in line with our high values and standards in a responsible manner where it will bring the most relief,” said president of the NAU, Piet Gouws.
