MUN Launches Shares Scheme for its Members
Instituted with the purpose of protecting and uplifting their member’s lives in order for them to make a meaningful contribution to their communities and Namibia as a whole, the Mine Workers' Union of Namibia has recently launched the sale of 25% of Namibia Miners Investment Trust (NAMIT) Holdings to its members, former members and dependants.
The 25% stake will be held on behalf of the former members, current members and their dependants through Namitvest Investment Holdings (Pty) Ltd, which is owned by the members through Just Transition Trust (JTT).
The units are valued at N$103 million in total and are being sold to union members at 50% of their real market value. According to the MUN president Mayemelo Kalumbu, members can purchase the minimum of 200 units which have a market value of N$2,062, but qualifying members can purchase them for N$1,031.
In fact, Namitvest aims to grow the members' investment, providing them with direct benefits through a loyalty and rewards programme that on-boards retailers and various providers of goods and services, therefore, 10% of the units will be allocated to vulnerable and former members
The union is content in knowing that going forward, its members, former members and their dependants can now own a stake in Nam-mic Holdings through the purchase of its shares.
