The NICG Governance Conference, held on 22 October 2025, brought together some of Namibia’s most respected voices in leadership and governance under the theme “Governance in a Transformative Era.” The gathering created a space for honest reflection on how institutions can adapt to change while keeping integrity and accountability at the heart of leadership.
The day unfolded through dynamic conversations and thought-provoking exchanges. From discussions on policy-driven governance and stewardship in leadership to reflections on Namibia’s emerging energy markets and the future of governance itself, each session invited participants to think differently about what it means to lead in times of transition.
Among those who shared their insights were Salomo Hei, Mutindi Jacobs, David Nuyoma, Hilda Basson-Namundjebo, Christie Keulder, Ekkehard Friedrich, Fabian Shaanika, Hon. Amb. Dr Kaire Mbuende, Amb. Lineekela Mboti, Escher Luanda, Rev. Dr Betty Schroder, Vetumbuavi Mungunda, and Graham Hopwood. The conversations were guided by facilitators Morna Ikosa, Marvin Amuenje, and Denver Kisting, whose thoughtful moderation kept the dialogue engaging and relevant.
The conference closed on a warm note with a cocktail hour where attendees connected, reflected, and celebrated a successful day of learning. The evening ended with a light-hearted lucky draw, where FNB Namibia won N$50,000 toward a board evaluation, Fenni Nghikevali received a one-year renewal of individual membership, Yamillah Katjirua won a free individual membership, and Tuna Nakale earned a voucher for any 2026 NICG training.
NICG extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the event possible, our insightful speakers, engaged delegates, and generous sponsors: NAC, FNB Namibia, CRAN, NWR, MTC, Sanlam, Allan Gray, Novanam and Old Mutual. Their continued support helps strengthen platforms that keep the conversation on governance alive and growing.
