The Rössing Foundation is positioning itself as a long-term legacy of Rössing Uranium, with its leadership stressing the need to build partnerships that can sustain community development even after the mine’s resources are exhausted.

Speaking at the 2026 Namibia Mining Expo in Windhoek, Rössing Foundation Board Member and Rössing Uranium general manager for human capital, safety and sustainability Liezl Davies said the foundation is being revitalised and rebranded as the organisation prepares for the next chapter of its existence.

“Rössing Foundation will also be 50 years old in two years, while Rössing Uranium Mine celebrates its 50th anniversary this year,” Davies said.
