Cornelia Shilunga, Deputy Minister of Mines and Energy, inaugurated the composite cement plant at the Ohorongo Cement plant this week in Otavi. Ohorongo Cement also constructed a third packaging line at the facility.

“Being the largest foreign direct investment in Namibia, Ohorongo is setting the bar high for future investors in terms of execution, standard and quality for all value addition products,” Ms Shilunga said.

The new plant will allow Ohorongo Cement to produce various types of cement and meet the increasing demand for additional cement types. Furthermore, the new packaging line will allow for packaging of both 50kg bags and bulk cement.
