Stefan Ludik Namibia’s Big Brother Africa contestant and now Egoli star has joined the ranks of His Excellency, President Pohamba, as a member of the elite Team Namibia Ambassador’s Club.

Team Namibia representative, Margareth Gustavo, met with Stefan on July 22, 2006, where she briefed him on Team Namibia, the Ambassador’s Club and the importance of getting him, along with other Namibians, to be passionate about the country. Upon requesting him to join the Club and assist Team Namibia in building credibility for its member products, services and destinations, he immediately agreed. He says that Team Namibia should be pleased to know that he already pursues all elements required of the said membership to the Ambassador’s Club as he is simply driven by the pride he has for the country.

His commitment to Namibia is proven by the efforts Stefan and his mother Susan Ludik made when they created numerous opportunities to promote Namibia. For example, Egoli for the first time came to Namibia and recorded particular episodes in Windhoek and at the coast, and not only did they use Namibia for shooting, the cast also included two local actors.

His correspondence to Team Namibia upon replying to an official request to join Team Namibia’s Ambassador’s Club, Stefan said he looks forward to “being of assistance to a project close to his heart” - that of promoting Namibia and its people.

Team Namibia is proud to have Stefan on board and look forward to his support and that of being an absolute ambassador for the “Be Namibian – Buy Namibian” message.

The Team Namibia “Goodwill Ambassador’s” Club was launched on July 19, 2006, by Nianell in an effort to create pride and build credibility for Team Namibia member products, services and destination. The club membership is exclusively for individuals of good social standing and stature, and whose stature can equip the organisation in developing pride in all things that are Namibian.

Team Namibia requires ambassadors to act in good faith, as promoters of the Team Namibia “Be Namibian – Buy Namibian” message and “live” the Team Namibia brands. By living the Team Namibia brand, Team Namibia ambassadors pledge to support Team Namibia and buy Namibian at all possible opportunities and to insist on Namibian products – in Namibia, whenever dining out (if a Namibian product/service is available).

The Ambassador’s Club thus far bears the unquestionable support of His Excellency, President Hifikepunye Pohamba, Honourable Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Dr Abraham Iyambo, Nianell, Michelle Heitha-Pokolo and Eliakim Shiimi.
