Rössing Uranium donated N$453 900 to the Omaruru District Watch group, and it was used to purchase a Toyota Land Cruiser V6 which will be used in combating crime in the area.
Rössing Uranium managing director Johan Coetzee said at the donation handover in Swakopmund on Friday that this underscores the company’s unwavering commitment to supporting safety initiatives within the communities from which its employees hail.
“This donation represents more than mere transportation for the team, as it also symbolises our commitment to fostering secure and protected communities. Recognising the vital role played by the neighbourhood watch group in safeguarding these areas, this donation aims to enhance the team’s capabilities and effectiveness in ensuring the safety of the community of Omaruru,” he noted.
Coetzee added that as a business, they recognise that their responsibilities extend far beyond the boundaries of operations. The partnership between Rössing Uranium and the Omaruru District Watch thus exemplifies the power of collaboration in fostering a safer and more secure environment.
“Rössing Uranium remains resolute in its belief that sustainable progress
is fundamentally tied to community welfare. Through initiatives like this vehicle donation, we reaffirm our commitment to being an active contributor to community initiatives in areas which we operate in and beyond,” he continued.
Also speaking at the occasion, Omaruru District Watch chairman Alexander Steyn extended his heartfelt appreciation to the company for the significant contribution, recognising the impact it will have on their organisation in enhancing its ability to safeguard the community.
