Emerging Mining Association of Namibia reflects on 36 years of independence

Emerging Mining Association of Namibia president Thekla Mutero says independence is not only about freedom, but about ensuring people benefit from the wealth of the country’s natural resources.

Mutero made these remarks during the 36th anniversary of the Namibian Independence Day on Saturday.

“The minerals sector remains a pillar of Namibia’s sovereignty, committed to transforming mineral wealth into sustainable prosperity for every Namibian,” she noted.

Mutero stated that true freedom is realised when people benefit first.

“Freedom is the wealth of a nation; minerals are its inheritance and people are its rightful beneficiaries,” said Mutero.

Mutero emphasised that independence is the power to turn natural resources into national resilience.

“From the depths of the earth to the heights of prosperity, Namibia’s minerals must shine for Namibians first,” she said.
