Honorary doctorates for Namibians

Northern businessmen Erastus 'Chicco' Shapumba of the Chicco Group, Fysal Brenner of Fysal Fresh Produce and Namibia Institute of Pathology CEO Augustinus Katiti have received honorary doctorates of business administration from the Commonwealth University in London.

At a colourful event this past weekend in Dubai, the three Namibian community leaders were recognised for their outstanding leadership skills and corporate social responsibility.

“It is such a huge privilege to be recognised by an international university and to show that Namibia has good leaders in the business space. It is important that we continue to work hard and be more inspired to do our work as we try to contribute positively to the development of Namibia,” said Shapumba upon his arrival from Dubai.

NCCI chairman Tomas Iindji celebrated the recognition that Shapumba and Katiti had received internationally and thanked them for the service they provided to their fellow countrymen.

“We at the NCCI Northern Branch are proud of all that these three exemplary Namibians have accomplished, and thank them both for their service to Namibia. I hope you will all join the Chamber in congratulating them on receiving such a high honour,” said Iindji.

Commonwealth University is established as a private international university company fully owned by the Island Open Belize.

The university specialises in capacity building at degree level and executive education programmes designed to assist its graduates to be more effective on their jobs and to be proactive citizens in their communities.
