Chief human resources officer for Ohorongo Cement, Tanda Nashixwa, says besides the training, the group would also have continuous on-the-job training, with individual members visiting various cement plants owned by Schwenk Company. “This allows [employees] to become familiar with their future daily tasks, the equipment and installations they will work with [at Ohorongo Cement plant],” says Nashixwa. The group is not the first to receive training at Schwenk, although it is the largest single group sent to Ohorongo’s mother company for training.
Schwenk group is constructing a cement plant at Otavi under the name Ohorongo Cement. The plant is set for commissioning in the second half of this year
