Staff Writer

Nictus Holdings Limited says all ordinary and special resolutions presented at its annual general meeting on 27 November 2025 were approved by shareholders, according to a notice issued on the Namibia Stock Exchange (NSX). 

The company said every resolution received 100% support from the 47.5 million shares voted, representing 88.89% of its total issued shares.

Shareholders confirmed the re-election of directors PJ de W Tromp and ME Ackermann and endorsed the company’s remuneration policy through a non-binding advisory vote. They also approved non-executive directors’ fees and reappointed BDO as external auditors. 

Resolutions authorising the issue of ordinary shares, granting signing authority and re-electing members of the Audit and Risk Committee, including ME Ackermann as chairperson, GR de V Tromp and SW Walters, were passed unanimously. 

The special resolution granting Nictus authority to repurchase its own shares also received full support.

Nictus has 53.4 million issued shares. The AGM results were released in Windhoek on 28 November, with Simonis Storm Securities acting as the NSX sponsor.

On the NSX, Letshego Holdings Namibia Limited has appointed Willem Pretorius as an executive director, effective 25 November. 

Pretorius, the company’s new chief financial officer, has more than 11 years of experience in banking and financial services. He is a Chartered Accountant (Namibia) and holds a BCom CA and BCom (Hons) in Financial Accounting from North-West University, as well as a BCom (Hons) CTA from the University of South Africa. 

He completed his articles with Ernst & Young in Windhoek before qualifying in 2014. Company secretary Evast Kalumbu said the board welcomes Pretorius and looks forward to his contributions.

Meanwhile, MTC Namibia has announced that Mercia Geises, the lead independent director who has been acting chairperson during the late Theofelus Mberirua’s illness, will continue in that role until a formal announcement is made after the next board meeting. 

MTC confirmed the passing of Mberirua, its non-executive chairperson, on 19 November due to illness. He served on the MTC Board since 1 April 2019 and became chairperson on 1 December 2019. 

He played a key role in the company’s 2021 listing and served on the HR and remuneration committee and the ICT and cybersecurity committee.

“Mberirua will be missed by the directors and employees alike. On behalf of the MTC Board, we express our heartfelt sympathy and condolences to his family, associates and friends in this difficult time,” MTC said.
