Having read about the current financial status of Nampost in the media, my impression on the chief executive officer of the parastatal, Mr Sackaria Nghikembua, (photo right) was reinforced. I felt proud in my inner self and proud of the deeds of the man I came to know through studies. This dates back to years between 1991 to 1993 at the then Academy, which then had two components, a University and Polytechnic. He was doing a degree in Business at the University component and I was doing a Diploma in Human Resources Management at the Polytechnic. I came to know him because my roommate was his best friend. Immediately I came to know Sackey, as we used to call him and I noticed how talented this young man was. I enjoyed good lectures in Business from him although he was not a lecturer. Mr Stevenson Nakaziko and Mr Immanuel Nakale can attest to this. When Sackey wrote assignments, he always scored an A symbol. Sackey is not talkative, but his actions speak louder than words. This is what we see today at Nampost. His deeds. In a short time, he has managed to turn around the finances of the parastatal for the better. He introduced some new service ranges to the parastatal. He is quick to react when others are there to sit back. The asset base of Nampost has drastically improved. What a commitment! What a dedication! What a talent! Sackey, my family, and I are proud of you. Your services are not only bearing fruit to your family, but also to the Namibian family, as Nampost continues to pay more dividends to the Government. It will continue to deliver services at our doorsteps. Let me pause a bit and challenge you Sackey! Why cant Nampost deliver mail (letters) at our gates as I have seen in Europe (Switzerland, a joking challenge, but I believe you have the capacity to do it.) You have the support of many of us who believe Vision 2030 is a necessity if Namibia is to develop beyond its current status. You are on the right track gentlemen, keep it up.
