AR on the move

The Affirmative Repositioning (AR) movement says it has offered to buy the Erongo Desalination Plant, which is owned by Orano Mining Namibia.AR availed its offer to purchase the desalination plant, addressed to Orano Mining managing director Tommie Gouws, to the media on Monday.The Erongo Desalination Plant has been on the market for years and it was offered to the government for N$ 3 billion, but this offer was not taken up as the government cited a lack of funds. The plant is situated some 35 kilometres north of Swakopmund and supplies water to the coastal town as well as nearby mines and other entities.The statement said the movement, led mainly by young professionals concerned about the sustainable future of Namibia, have decided to engage Orano Mining on the matter.“We are making an offer for us to buy 100 percent of your shareholding in the Erongo Desalination Plant,” it wrote to the company.NegotiationsContacted for comment on how they plan to fund the purchase, AR leader Job Amupanda said the movement is not looking at figures at the moment, but will wait to see what will come out of its engagements with the management of the plant if they are granted an opportunity to negotiate with Orano Mining Namibia.“We have been seeing those figures over the years and we are not limiting ourselves, that is why we want to enter into a discussion with the managing director. We are not operating on what has been reported, we are only operating on the fact that it has been offered on the market,” said Amupanda.When contacted for comment, Gouws confirmed that he received the letter. He said it is currently receiving the attention of Orano’s management and they will respond in due course. - Nampa
