Flanagan said the new Nkurenkuru store represents a vital investment in the local community, creating dozens of job opportunities for residents and facilitating nine staff transfers.
Robust development
Among these new positions, the company highlighted the employment of Leon Madonsa, an unemployed youth graduate who was appointed as a trainee manager.
"This initiative underscores Choppies' commitment to nurturing local talent and supporting the economic development of the Kavango East Region," Flanagan said.
