“Success is not a random act. It arises out of a predictable and powerful set of circumstances and opportunities.”
― Malcolm Gladwell
Success is an incremental result of taking small steps consistently and effectively. That is why, we at Nam-mic Financial Services Holdings (Pty) Ltd (NFSH) believe in paying attention to the smallest details, addressing the weakest link, and accommodating the seemingly disadvantaged stakeholders to safeguard against small pitfalls which may lead to monumental failure.
I believe that one of the most important factors in achieving this is servanthood and teamwork. We must realize that our success is measured by how well we serve each other. One single entity can go forward fast, but when that entity partners up with another, the impact is immeasurable.
NFSH, an active local investor, is determined to ensure continued growth in our communities by holding hands with strategic partners to ensure sustainability. It is incumbent upon each single person, to work with others, in order to benefit that same person. Ultimately, we have a choice to go forward alone and inevitably stay behind or to embrace and maximize partnerships that present themselves.
It has been over 20 years since the Namibian Mine Workers Investment Holdings Company, our majority shareholder, resolved to establish the first Namibian financial services company controlled and owned by previously disadvantaged Namibians, and here we are today: steadfast, relevant, and impactful.
All this is a result of visionary, strategic and ethical leadership of the founders and previous executive leaders of NFSH. The next 20 years will be a positive testament of one of the biggest firms in the financial industry, which started as an idea, a dream and eventually a company that is operating in the Namibian economical field which has predominantly excluded the previously disadvantaged Namibian.
The vision remains to be the leading Namibia broad-based economic empowerment company, creating opportunities, building and distributing wealth to its stakeholders.
