Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>YOUNG Windhoek entrepreneur Martin Nankela, a director of Cross Branding Investments, will be hosting a second annual Business Namibia Summit at the Hilton Hotel in Windhoek on 4 June.<\/b><\/p>\n

Nankela says the event will give Namibians a platform to learn about financial literacy from prominent people and leaders in the financial sector. \u201cThe event to be presented by Windhoek celebrity Maria Nepembe will start at 16h30, and four prominent people have been lined up to share their knowledge with other Namibians,\u201d he said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are economist Mally Likukela, the managing director of Twilight Capital; Twapewa Kadhikwa, the director of Kadhikwa Group of Companies who has a chicken business and also runs the well-known Xwama Traditional Restaurant in Wanaheda; Martin Inkumbi, the chief executive officer of the Development Bank of Namibia; and Indileni Nanghonga, a senior research and development officer at Agribank.<\/p>\n

\u201cNanghonga will be able to share knowledge about the agricultural sector and farming finance to enhance food security on the country,\u201d said Nankela.<\/p>\n

He said the event is for anybody with a business or who is aspiring to start one, or those interested in financial matters or the economy. \u201cLikukela is an economist and Inkumbi a banker, so there is something for everyone,\u201d he said. Nankela said he was motivated by a desire to help people enhance their financial knowledge and acquire information to become better Namibians.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people do not know the avenues to get knowledge, and we are trying to get the community out there to come and learn about managing finances for their betterment and to contribute positively to the community,\u201d said Nankela, who runs Cross Branding on a part-time basis as he is a full-time banker.<\/p>\n

This is the second business summit the company is hosting. \u201cLast year, we held one at Avani in June, and prominent people came to share their financial knowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was successful because the tickets were sold out in two weeks. However, as the event approached, the government reduced the number of people who could attend from 200 to 50, in line with Covid-19 regulations, and we split the people into smaller groups and accommodated them in separate halls and held virtual engagements,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nankela has two permanent employees and four freelancers at Cross Branding, which was established in 2016. \u201cWe do corporate branding, supply promotional material to companies, do social media marketing, photo consultancy services, photography, videography and graphic designing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the transition to working from home during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic enhanced the business as most work was done virtually. Nankela said the Covid-19 lockdown was good for business, because a lot of companies were holding virtual meetings in line with health protocols, and Cross Branding provided live-streaming services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did this for companies as well as churches because people could not congregate,\u201d he said. Nankela advised aspiring entrepreneurs not to wait \u201cto be great to start businesses, but to start now in order to be great\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cStart now and learn from it, and even if it fails you can still try something else, because procrastination does not take anyone anywhere,\u201d he said, adding that in five years he would like to increase the number of employees at his company.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also want to be working for my company full-time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
