We hereby submit a formal request to split the Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) No. 23000587 which is due for expiration in July 2026 during the upcoming renewal application process. The recent Compliance Order issued to Manica Group Namibia Pty Ltd (MGN) on 29 November 2024; brought a realisation that having only one ECC for all facilities provides a challenging working environment because an error at one facility adversely affects operations/services at other facilities. It is against that background that we respectfully request the ECC to be split into separate, distinct certificates for the following sites that are owned, leased, and operated by MGN: Manica Logistics Centre (MLC), Rennies Container Depot, Rennies Warehouse, Rennies Protea Shed, Namport and other Third-party Facilities The purpose for this split is to facilitate operational flexibility by allowing these properties to operate under individual ECCs. All environmental obligations and conditions stipulated in the original ECC will remain in full effect at each of the above-mentioned sites.
