JAMES NDAMBO’ AND AFRICA UNION HOLDINGS GROUP – WHAT IS THE BACKSTORY?
Africa Union Holdings Group has a footprint over many countries in the region and beyond.
AUH Cargo is just a branch of Africa Union Holdings Group which has a diversity of global businesses across major economic sectors.
AUH Group has developed a model and harnessed partnerships that will continue to support and inspire local businesses and trade with and within Africa.
Africa Union Holdings Cargo and the port business is larger and quite independent from the 7.5 acre lot that the Namibian Government allocated to the Government of Zambia for its Cargo. Essentially, the Zambian Government does not ‘own’ this lot of land in Namibia. Therefore the question is why should there be any excitement about cancelling a concession for a company that operates quite independently even away from the lot in question? The Zambian Government can neither cancel the AUH Cargo operation nor that which they do not ‘own’.
Africa Union Cargo is just one part of the AUH Group, will continue to harness and grow its long term partnerships in and outside of Africa, as its contribution to regional and global trade promotion. A legacy and foundation that has been built over 25 years.
From a Taxi Business run from a Kitchen Table in a Suburbs of Lusaka to the global entity and footprint that it has trailed, there is much to learn and inspire from the AUH Group journey.
Sources close to the shareholders of the company said that they are not even aware that there is this excitement by the assumed disruption to the port business. The owners of the business seem more focused on some developing medical breakthrough currently in progress in India this week. This development involves two siblings deaf from birth evacuated to India from Zambia by MHT – the philanthropic arm of the business
One wonders in light of all this, and after the My Home Town Zambia saga last year and now this latest debacle at the Namibia port, in the midst of clearly more urgent and pressing economic matters for the government internally. Question is why?? Ninshi Kanshi?!
