Trustco Group Holdings has returned its banking licence to the Bank of Namibia (BoN) for cancellation, effective immediately.

Following the move, all depositors’ funds will be 100% secured and held by the central bank.

Trustco’s investment in its commercial banking portfolio accounts for about 1% of its total investments.

On 29 July 2024, the Bank of Namibia issued a notice of its intention to cancel the bank’s licence to conduct banking business due to its failure to remediate its previous suspension conditions.

The central bank argues that Trustco was afforded an opportunity to make representation as to why its licence should not be cancelled .

“The Bank noted that instead of making the called-for representation as per the provisions of the Act, TBN opted to inform the Bank of Namibia of TGH and TBN’s decision to discontinue its banking business, with further resolve to return its banking licence for cancellation with effect from today,” the central bank’s spokesperson Kazembire Zemburuka said.

Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) on Thursday unveiled a N$377 million new wine packaging line in Windhoek.

President Nangolo Mbumba officially inaugurated the new facility, which targets innovation and growth for the company.

Mbumba highlighted the commissioning of the NBL new wine packaging line as a testimony of a working partnership between the private sector and the public sector which provides a conducive business environment for investment.

“I am informed that more than one hundred contractors and 14 local companies were involved in the construction of this venture. Accordingly, brands such as Tassenberg, Savanna, Hunters Dry and Hunters Gold which were previously bottled, filled and packaged in South Africa, will now be done here in Namibia. This value addition will reduce Namibia’s reliance on imports and create many opportunities for local Small and Medium-sized Enterprises,” the President said.

As Heroes’ Day and the long weekend approaches, the Namibian Police Force (Nampol) has advised the public to adhere to road safety, cautioning patience for drivers while on the road.

They further informed the public to plan trips in advance, avoid driving under the influence of alcohol and to adhere to the stipulated road traffic rules and regulations.

This comes after the Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA Fund of Namibia) reported that Namibia recorded 1,720 crashes for the year, as of 5 August, resulting in 3,153 injuries and 237 fatalities.

“With many people travelling to attend events the roads may be congested with impatient drivers and reckless behaviour, potentially leading to tragic road crashes on the national highways,” deputy commissioner Kauna Shikwambi said.

Nampol further said that in order to reduce the road accidents particularly on B1 and B2 highways, traffic law enforcement officers will conduct road safety operations which includes intensifying patrols and mobile roadblocks on these highways.
