Tim Ekandjo has thrown his support behind the 2025 Eenhana Trade Expo, pledging a combined total of N$120,000 – N$70,000 from MTC, where he serves as Chief Brand, Marketing, Communications & Sustainability Officer, and an additional N$50,000 as a personal contribution.
Speaking at the Expo’s fundraising gala dinner, Ekandjo highlighted the critical role of humility in leadership, telling guests that no meaningful progress can be achieved without unity and self-awareness.
“No country, community, congregation, political party, family, or Expo can ever succeed without humility and unity of purpose.Humility breeds great servantship. And I chose to speak of it today because as leaders and aspiring leaders, we have an opportunity to change someone’s life every single day,” he said.
He added that leadership should not be about tearing people down, but rather helping others grow.
“Humility is the first step in admitting that we do not know everything, and we are open to learning while accepting others. It is about letting go of your pride and retaining your dignity,” he said.
Held under the theme “Advancing Innovation & Diversification”, the gala dinner brought together business and regional leaders and raised a total of N$490,000.
The funds will go towards hosting the 2025 Eenhana Trade Expo, which is scheduled to take place from 24 July to 2 August.
In his closing remarks, Ekandjo said, “Platforms that unlock economic opportunities are facilitated and made possible by us [the people]. The contributions that we give as corporates or in our individual capacities are the pulse that maintains the heartbeat of the economic activities that are necessary for regional and national economic development goals.”
He concluded by urging leaders in Eenhana and across the country to “maintain humility and humbly serve and lead the socio-economic empowerment of the people.”
