Bannerman Mining Resources Namibia has appointed Twapewa Kadhikwa as the new Chairperson of the company, effective immediately.
Kadhikwa succeeds Mike Leech, who has served as Chairman for the last seven years and will continue as a Non-Executive Director.
The listed uranium development company says as one of the few female Chairpersons in the Namibian corporate landscape, Kadhikwa brings a unique perspective and experience to her new role, having served on various boards.
With over 14 years of experience, Bannerman said Kadhikwa brings a wealth of knowledge in board affairs, corporate governance, and uranium mining to her new role.
“I am honored to step into the role of Chairperson and grateful for the opportunity to lead the board. As custodians of the resources we oversee, we must be good stewards. My vision is for Bannerman to be a conscious and conscientious mining company, prioritizing governance, environmental sustainability, community development, and delivering value to stakeholders and shareholders,” said Kadhikwa.
In 2005, Kadhikwa was the recipient of a mentorship program through Leech, who invited her to join the Trust of the Rossing Foundation.
This comes as Kadhikwa has established herself as an entrepreneur of note, being a key partner and founder of the Kadhikwa Group of Companies, which consists of Hospitality, Poultry Farming, and Capacity Building through the Vocational Training Centers of Namibia.
Bannerman Mining Resources (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of Bannerman Energy Ltd, owns 95% of the Etango Uranium Project in Namibia, while The One Economy Foundation of Namibia (OEF) holds a 5% share in Bannerman Namibia.
The project is managed by Bannerman Namibia.
