He said the government is well aware of the importance of the private sector and the role it is playing to develop the economy.<\/p>\n<p>The vice-president noted that one of the government\u2019s priorities is to create an enabling environment for local and foreign investments to survive, thrive and make a meaningful contribution.<\/p>\n<p>Mbumba said that the massive investment will contribute to the growth of the town\u2019s economic activities by increasing the overall lettable space, and create an environment that boosts trade.<\/p>\n<p>The Okaale Lifestyle Centre and the Spar Omuthiya supermarket were constructed to the tune of N$64 million, representing significant infrastructure development in the town. The complex consists of 18 retail units of different sizes, an SME section consisting of five units, a car wash and ablution facilities.<\/p>\n<p>The head of the Ondonga Traditional Authority, King Fillemon Nangolo Shuumbwa, thanked the owner of the complex, Herman Nekomba, for bringing the much-needed development to the town thereby creating employment opportunities, especially for the youth.<\/p>\n<p>King Shuumbwa urged employees to take their employment seriously and to prioritise customer service. Nekomba said Omuthiya is a town in its developing phase and still has plenty of room to grow.<\/p>\n<p>He said when he first expressed his interest in putting up such a huge investment in Omuthiya, it was greeted with an understandable degree of scepticism, but he remained determined to realise his vision of owning a retail one day.<\/p>\n<p>Nekomba noted that in order for people to be successful and bring development, they need to be aware of the fear of the unknown, they need to take calculated risks, and in most cases \u201cdo something out of the box\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
