In her new role, she will lead Letshego Namibia’s internal audit function, advising on the company’s control environment and risk management practices.
She will also develop auditing strategies and implement audit programs to strengthen internal oversight.

She began her career at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as a trainee external auditor. She later worked as an internal auditor at NamPower and served as chief risk officer at the Bank of Namibia.
Her executive experience includes roles such as group head of internal audit & risk management at MMI Namibia Holdings Ltd, executive internal auditor at NamPost, and most recently head of internal audit & risk management at Telecom Namibia.
She is a member of the Institute of Internal Auditors South Africa and the Institute of Risk Management South Africa.
She also served on the Namibia Postal and Telecommunication Pension Fund board, first as a member trustee of the finance, actuarial and audit committee, and later as chairperson. Her work there focused on ensuring strong governance and accountability.
Hochobeb holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting science and a certificate in risk-based internal auditing from the University of South Africa. She completed her external audit articles under the Public Accountants and Auditors Board of Namibia.
“I am honoured to be entrusted with such a rewarding and challenging role. My focus will be on fostering regular engagements with stakeholders to enhance their welfare and build strong relationships, laying the foundation for sustainable success,” she said.
