2005-08-02 - NovaNam takes over Lalandii:  THE NovaNam Group of Companies, through its subsidiary company Gendor, has become the official owners of Lalandii Whitefish Processors.

Earlier this year, the High Court of Namibia granted a provisional order for the winding-up of Lalandii, resulting in more than 500 jobs being on the line.

Lalandii's reported losses amount to N$31,1 million for the financial year 2002-2003, the High Court has been informed.

Lalandii, a subsidiary of Namfish one of the oldest fishing companies in Namibia, was granted a seven-year licence for hake in 2000; it also received a 9 095-ton hake quota for the 2004-05 fishing season.
