FirstRand Namibia has announced the resignation of independent non-executive director Jan Coetzee, effective 30 April 2026.
The company said Coetzee stepped down in line with Namibia Securities Exchange listing requirements governing director changes.
Coetzee joined the board on 1 October 2021 and served the financial services group for nearly four and a half years.
During this time, he held oversight roles and served on the audit committee and the risk, capital and compliance committee.
In a notice to shareholders issued on Tuesday, FirstRand Namibia said the board had expressed its sincere appreciation for Coetzee’s service and thanked him for his contribution to the company’s governance and strategic direction.
The company did not give reasons for his resignation and did not indicate if a replacement will be appointed.

He has more than 27 years of experience across sectors including mining, finance, utilities, the public sector and logistics.
