Mr. Cai Yusheng, updated the Prime Minister on the latest developments on the Husab Mine, in terms of employment statistics, Corporate Social Responsibility, skills transfers initiatives and succession plans for various roles within the Company, and highlighted that the Company will continue to support initiatives aimed at the betterment of the people of Namibia.
