The Oshivambo people of Namibia say: “oshinakuwanifa”
... a man has the responsibility to feed his children, to lead his son to become a man!
Likewise,
we care for the bread and butter of our people, the well-being of the earth, and the sustainability of our country!
Carbo Namibia fully complies with the Namibian Law and exercises good business practices. Furthermore we are FSC® certified to guarantee our commitment to the earth and people through a management system that is annually audited by international recognized auditors.
If barbeque is the way to get your meat, bread or veggies done, then “braai”is a bit more ...
... it is a happening or gathering of family, friends and strangers to share life’s bitter and sweet!
... it is the experience of Africa’s UBUNTU:
“I am what I am because of who we all are”
A “braai” is the space for a great story to happen while enjoying the gifts of the presence!
