Rebranded, Dr Weder, Kruger and Haikali Inc (WKH), has named Tshuka Luvindao as Managing Director designate as part of a leadership transition coinciding with a refreshed corporate identity.
The firm confirmed that Luvindao and André Swanepoel will serve as Co-Managing Directors for a 12-month term beginning on 1 September 2025 through 31 August 2026.
Thereafter, Luvindao will assume the role of Managing Director, while Swanepoel will continue as Senior Director and Conveyancer.
“WKH is proud to announce a refreshed identity—refocused, reinvigorated, and resolutely committed to delivering exceptional legal services. We will now operate under the simplified name WKH, short for Dr Weder, Kruger and Haikali Inc, and WKH Inc. This evolution reflects more than a change in name—it marks a renewed vision that honours our legacy while embracing the future,” the firm said.
According to WKH, the announcement highlighted continuity within its team.
“Our team of directors and associates remains steadfast in upholding the highest standards of professionalism, continuity and client care,” the firm said.
The leadership change follows what the firm described as a period of transformational growth under Swanepoel’s stewardship since 2006, during which WKH expanded significantly, adding nearly 20 legal practitioners and four offices.
The firm now boasts 33 lawyers across five offices nationwide, led by Andre Swanepoel and Tshuka Luvindao in Windhoek, Veronica Haikali in Ongwediva, Beatrix Greyvenstein in Swakopmund, Liza Martins in Walvis Bay, and Willem Visser in Grootfontein.
Looking ahead, the firm said: “Our focus remains on delivering exceptional service to our clients, capitalising on the opportunities presented by our expansion, and fostering a collaborative and collegial culture across the firm. WKH’s core strength has always been its ability to meet the needs and advance the goals of our clients—particularly in Property and Commercial related transactions, Intellectual Property and Labour matters, M&A and litigation in both the lower and higher courts of Namibia. Our new leadership team is deeply committed to nurturing a culture of teamwork and relationship building across practices, industries, and offices, and to continue with the tradition of excellence our clients have come to expect.”
The firm also pledged to remain firmly rooted in its tradition while embracing modernisation.
“We promise to remain grounded in our Firm’s proud legacy while embracing innovation, collaboration, and an uncompromising commitment to legal excellence,” WKH said.
“As the Namibian economy evolves and the legal landscape shifts with it, WKH recommits to its mission and pushes forward to remain a leader across all market segments,” the firm added.
