The Agricultural Bank of Namibia (AgriBank), through its Agri Advisory Services Division, conducted a mentorship workshop for its clients at Mariental in the Hardap Region. 

The programme was established to provide structured mentorship and training services to clients of Agri Bank Namibia, who mostly consist of communal and commercial farmers who had been provided with loans and agricultural equipment over the years. 

AgriBank recently introduced a stakeholder complaint handling policy aimed at guiding the bank in the handling of complaints from clients and the public. 

Bernhard !Gaeb, a well-known retired journalist, died Tuesday morning in Mariental, aged 66.

!Gaeb, a veteran journalist, is among the first black scribes in Namibia. 

He started his career at the then-Journal newspaper, where he worked with other well-known personalities such as Freddy Philander.

It was his first job after high school at Augustineum Secondary School in Windhoek.

As he was maturing in his career, he moved on to the Afrikaans daily, Die Republikein.

He was provided with a training opportunity in the UK, where he studied journalism.

The Government Institutions Pension Fund (GIPF) has expanded its footprint in the Hardap Region with the opening of a satellite office at Mariental.

The office, located in the Hardap Regional Council Office Building, says Nillian Mulemi, Chairperson, GIPF Board of Trustees, will provide GIPF-related services.
