Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>THE newly appointed chief executive officer (CEO) of the National Fishing Corporation of Namibia (Fishcor), Clive Gawanab, is positive that the company can be transformed.<\/b><\/p>\n

Gawanab yesterday told The Namibian he would prioritise recruiting a competent senior management team, and putting in place a strategy to transform the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company has gone through a rough patch, reputationally, as well as operationally. There is a dire need for it to be transformed. My aim would be to put a strategy in place that would put the company through that transformation process. That cannot be done by myself alone, so there is a team that would be working on it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The company has been operating on autopilot, following the departure of its caretaker CEO, Ruth Herunga, in October, as well as its finance manager, Paulus Ngalangi, who left in April.<\/p>\n

Hengura has been at the helm of the company for seven months. Gawanab said together with the new team, and with the input of the board, they would embark on a journey of transformation.<\/p>\n

He asked for time to settle in their new roles. \u201cI cannot give you the details of the strategy at this point . . . The overall integrated strategic plan is there, but there is a need to look at it and improve on it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gawanab has a rocky road ahead of him, which includes mending the relationship with partner Seaflower Pelagic Processing (SPP) at Walvis Bay, and repairing equipment at Seaflower White Fish at L\u00fcderitz.<\/p>\n

Another challenge is securing substantial employment opportunities for the 455 former SPP employees, who are currently receiving a salary while not working.<\/p>\n

This was arranged by the interim board through the sale of 10 000 tonnes of freezer horse mackerel. The interim board’s term will come to an end on 31 December.<\/p>\n

Minister of public enterprises Leon Jooste did not reply to questions sent to him on whether the board’s term would be extended to allow for a handover to the new CEO.<\/p>\n
