Our bursary selection committee received hundreds of applications and shortlisted and interviewed 31 students in the past two years to award our bursaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meatco currently has five bursary students., who we would like to introduce to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Petrus N Kagogo, currently a third year student studying towards a BSc Eng. in Electro\/Mechanical Engineering at the University of Cape Town (UCT).<br>\u201cI was born and raised in Okaku in the north of Namibia. In my leisure time, I enjoy mountaineering and numerous sports around campus to relax and get my blood pumping. I like networking and exploring the society I live in, with a motive to broaden my horizons and expose myself to individuals with whom I share passions and preferences.<br>Academically, I possess a BSc in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from the Namibia University of Science and Technology (previously Polytechnic). However, since high school I have always wanted to pursue a career in engineering (specifically mechanical engineering), which I can now complete thanks to my Meatco bursary.\u201d<br>\u2022 Priscilla Sulaica Masule, currently a second-year student studying towards a BSc-IT at the University of Namibia.<br>\u201cI grew up in Rehoboth and furthered my studies at Westside High School where I completed grade 12.<br>I am a member of the Computing Society at the university, where we interact with other students and lecturers, and where we get to learn more about the IT industry. Technology fascinates me because it makes life so much easier. When I am not doing anything technology-related, I dance, and go to the gym. I recently also started playing tennis.<br>I am grateful for the opportunities the Meatco bursary has afforded me and I will make it my mission to work hard and be the best that I can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Cornelia Kahl has been a Meatco bursary student since 2013. She studies BSc Animal Sciences at the University of Stellenbosch and is currently undertaking trials at Meatco\u2019s Okapuka Feedlot towards an MSc degree.<br>\u201cI grew up on a farm near to Otjiwarongo and love to be active outside, doing sports and experiencing our beautiful nature. Pets and farm animals are part of my life, as well as my family and friends who are my biggest supporters.<br>The main aim of this study is to improve animal welfare as well as the production performance of the cattle at the Feedlot, by introducing forms of environmental enrichments such as manure heaps and shading.<br>Thanks to my Meatco bursary, I also had the opportunity to do my internship at the Okapuka Feedlot and Head Office. I aim to graduate with my Masters in March 2017. I hope to be a contributing and successful full-time staff member of Meatco to work back my bursary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Olebile (Moeti) Olibile began studying B. Veterinary Science at the University of Pretoria.<br>\u201cDuring my high school years we would go to the farm every weekend. Since books and friends were rare on the farm, horse riding, sports and cattle farming soon became my only form of entertainment. Though books were rare, my father would always encourage me to read his Farmer\u2019s Weekly from which I acquired a lot of knowledge.<br>I matriculated as the Dux student of Wennie du Plessis Secondary School in Gobabis and in 2015 I completed an InSTEM program at the (former) Polytechnic of Namibia. I used this programme as a tool to improve my science knowledge. One thing that fuels my desire to become a veterinarian is the lack of vaccines to cure diseases, like African horse disease and foot-and-mouth disease.<br>There is a long road of study ahead, but with my Meatco bursary and Internships, I aim to become a valuable employee at Meatco and a contributing citizen of Namibia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Ndakondja N. Shilenga has been a bursary student since 2014 and is studying BSc \u2013 IT Computer Science and Business Computing at the University of Cape Town.<br>\u201cI am your typical \u2018girl from the north\u2019, born and raised in Ongwediva. I would describe myself as an outgoing, responsible, goal-oriented and understanding person. Apart from studying, I am the biggest fitness freak, having hiked up Table Mountain and Lions Head countless times. I am seriously thinking of doing the 2 Oceans Marathon.<br>I completed my BSc Computer Science degree last year at the University of Cape Town and I am currently doing a BCom Honours in Information Systems. Thanks to my bursary, I also completed an internship at Meatco and am really excited for next year\u2019s work-back to see what the industry has in store for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Us<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Head Office<\/strong>Meat Corporation of Namibia Ltd.<br>P.O.
