Namibian businessman Benjamin Hauwanga has been honoured by the government of Angola's Cunene province for his significant contributions to development and humanitarian efforts in the country. The recognition came during a ceremony on Wednesday, part of Angola's 50th independence celebrations, where Cunene Governor Gerdina Didalelwa presented Hauwanga with an award of appreciation.
Governor Didalelwa praised Hauwanga for his ongoing support to the people of Cunene, highlighting his investments and philanthropic projects that have improved living conditions in the province. She noted that his efforts went beyond business growth, with him being involved in the construction of schools, clinics, and homes. "His compassion and commitment to our communities are deeply appreciated," Didalelwa remarked.
Hauwanga, who had previously assisted Angolan fighters during the liberation struggle, has continued to contribute to Angola's development after establishing several businesses. One of his key projects includes the building of 96 homes in Ondjiva, many of which were provided to families displaced by the civil war. Hauwanga expressed his gratitude for the award, saying he was humbled to receive recognition from a country that had once provided shelter to many Namibians during their struggle for independence.
