Last Friday, Debmarine Namibia
and the Namibia Miners Investment Trust Investment Company (NAMITVEST) took a
historic step towards worker empowerment and economic inclusion by signing a
Payroll Deduction Agreement. This milestone enhances financial inclusion and
investment participation for Debmarine Namibia employees.
During the signing ceremony, our
CEO, Willy Mertens, said he could not hesitate to sign the agreement, as it
directly involves the financial wellbeing of employees. “Employees are the
backbone of the business and without them, there is no business,” he emphasised,
urging Debmarine Namibia MUN representatives to share information wisely with
members so they can see their investments grow.
The agreement was signed by Mr
George Ampweya, General Secretary of the Mineworkers Union of Namibia,
alongside Mr Jason Kasuto, Principal Officer of NAMITVEST and Managing Director
of Monasa Advisory & Associates.
From Debmarine Namibia, the
signing was witnessed by Elke Hainstein, Head of HR, the Employee Relations
team, and the Debmarine Namibia MUN Branch Executive Council.
