The Namibian Government has through its policies and national strategic documents been trying to promote the
manufacturing sector and value addition in Namibia. Documents such as Vision 2030, NDP4, NDP5, Growth at

team.

provisionally since December 2007.

public sector through an aggressive marketing strategy of the SBU’s. Clothing Manufacturing will be the strategic
market penetration position of Mufunga Design and this will be the rallying point to establishing a niche in the
market. Mufunga Design is well positioned to develop and execute on this business plan that will provide attractive
returns for suitable investors.

7. Operational Challenges
The company currently has dormant machinery in place that is not being utilised due to the lack of capital and this
has hindered the growth of the entity. Expansion of the company is imminent but is based on the recapitalisation
as this will increase the growth in terms of employment and other strategic business units being fully operational.
Walk-in customers and small companies contribute to the income of the organization and a retail shop at the factory
can achieve this income. Some customers need a finished product due to the nature of their business.

MUFUNGA DESIGN BUSINESS PLAN
Mufunga Design manufacturing faces frequent trend changes, rising material and labour costs and increasing
global competition. Mufunga Design is under considerable pressure to achieve profitable growth while delivering
high quality products at reduced lead times, whilst also addressing the growing expectation for improved
environmental sustainability, employee working conditions and fair wages.
Operational excellence is an ideal match for the complex challenges of the industry. Manufacturing industry around
the globe can achieve enhanced business performance and profitable growth through rapid productivity
improvements, reduced defects and increased flexibility. In addition, Mufunga Design will create a safer, more
engaging and satisfying work environment that significantly reduces attrition rates and contributes to better overall
business outcomes.
The ideal operational process for Mufunga Design takes into account of the following:
• Improve performance and quality and reduce operational costs and lead times through enhanced sewing
efficiency, improved material utilization, fewer defects and optimized man-to-machine ratios.
• Increase flexibility and responsiveness and ensure timely delivery of merchandise by accelerating
approval and changeover times, creating equitable workload distribution and streamlining sample-
making.
• Accelerate growth and avoid unnecessary capital outlay by reducing work-in-process inventory,
optimizing plant capacity and generating greater free cash to accommodate expansion.
• Create a culture of continuous improvement to proactively address social compliance and safety
conditions and drive employee engagement and satisfaction, leading to reduced attrition and long-term
viability.
• Improve supplier performance and gain competitive advantage through assessments that identify
potential areas of change and quantifiable plans for enhanced quality and service that can lead to
increased business with key customers.
• Drive competitive advantage and energize profitable growth by launching new products faster, at lower
development costs, and with flexible, efficient production processes.
• Boost financial performance by embedding a management process and discipline that empowers
employees to improve their part of the business on a daily basis in alignment with the organization’s
strategic direction.
The above if implemented in a work environment will increase the operational efficiency of the Mufunga Design.

MUFUNGA DESIGN BUSINESS PLAN
In 2015, Namibia’s manufacturing sector contributed about 13% per cent of GDP. Namibia manufacturing is
inhibited by a small domestic market, dependence on imported goods, limited supply of local capital, widely
dispersed population, small skilled labour force and high relative wage rates, and subsided competition from South
Africa.
Namibia has dynamic and robust opportunities that it can offer to manufacturing enterprises, such as access to
SACU market, good communications (air and road), good infrastructure, and modern and an efficient financial
service. The SADC free trade area should also create opportunities within the southern African region. Namibia
also has preferential access to the European Communities under the interim EPA, which has been applied
provisionally since December 2007.
The local textile has been undergoing a major transformation to establish in the market due to the hiccups which
have been prevalent in the market case in point being the Ramatex debacle and the formation of the Namibian
Garment Marketing Company Pty Ltd which aimed to access the North American market through the Africa Growth
and opportunity Act (AGOA). AGOA was extended in Africa and is still operational and the local industries can
access the market if they meet requirements that are needed by the North American market in terms of labour,
occupational health and safety and other necessary specifications that are required by the target market.
The rebirth of the garment and textile industry has been determined mostly by the need to substitute on the
importation of products from South Africa, China and other countries especially in the product range of the following
items;
• Industrial Clothing;
• Medical Clothing ;
• Uniforms; and
• Protective Clothing.
The industry is mainly targeting the local market in the production of garments and has not exploited the SACU
and SADC market to gain a larger market share. The SADC and SACU protocols on free trade can be
advantageous to the Mufunga Design sector. The local industry is mainly spearheaded by the small to medium
scale enterprises (SMEs) which have a foothold in the market.
It has been established that the country has a number of manufactured products which have potential for
expansion. The key existing products identified are: paint, tiles and slabs, tables, beds, cupboard, school and office
furniture, kitchenware, beer, carbonated water and soft drinks, steel windows and door frames, polished diamonds,
hand-woven carpets, field shoes, textiles and clothing, as well as salt (coarse, fine, rock and table) amongst others
items. There are a number of possible markets to which the existing products that are currently being produced

although not at their optimal levels, could be exported. These markets include: the SADC, the EU, the US, Australia,
as well as East Asia. The sub sector industries have the potential of engaging in the production.

Table 3 indicates that in terms of the sub-sectors, contributions to manufacturing employment, the Food and
Beverages Sub-sector is the major employer, followed by clothing, dressing and dyeing of the Fur Sub-sector,
other Non-metallic Products and then the Basic Metal Sub-sectors.
Ministries and Parastatals where the respective staff wear uniforms or safety gear will be a potential market the
clothing industry. Therefore, the main clientele in this category will be all the Ministries which utilise uniforms for
their daily operations. Although Ministry of Education staff does not wear uniforms, schools do and since
government schools fall under the Ministry of Education, this Ministry is a potential client for the textile industry.
9.2.2 Retailers
These two groups are responsible for supplying the public with their needs. The company in the short term will
target retail shops for the sale of their products as they will be setting up the company’s retail outlets.

MUFUNGA DESIGN BUSINESS PLAN
These are the ultimate consumers of the textile products and mainly obtain these products from retailers and
wholesalers. Private companies however sometimes go directly to the manufacturers especially where they require
uniforms to be made for their staff in large quantities. The main companies which require this service are security
guards, banks, retail shops and any other organisation where the staff wear a uniform.
9.2.4 Mines
Occupational safety is a pre-requisite in mines and with the growth of the industry; safety plays a pivotal role in
assuring the welfare of the workers. Most companies need high quality safety clothing to reduce accident
incidences. Therefore, the textile industry needs to cater for this market which as special needs.
Most government institutions have personnel who require uniforms within a period of time. The active personnel
in the security forces have a need for uniforms during their yearly tenures. Currently the defence forces have active
personnel of more than 10, 000, the police force 14,800 and the nurses are more than 4,000. The medical
institutions have nursing and medical staff which have a need for uniforms throughout the year and the yearly
recruitment of staff especially trainee nurses’ warrants the demand for uniforms annually. The increased population
growth and also results in an increased recruitment for the government in the security forces.
According to the Namibia Security Guards and Workers Union, the number of security guards has increased
significantly from the 5,000 to more than 7,000 between the years 2010 to 2013 and of these numbers 3,000 are
affiliated to the workers union. This increase in personnel is a positive for the textile industry since it results in an
increase in demand for the uniforms in this market segment.

The local production is very low with more than 80% of the local consumption being imported. Statistics could not
be obtained on the exact size of the local market.
9.5 Pricing
The pricing structure of the items offered will be in line with the market prices. As a penetration strategy into the
market, Mufunga Design should offer discounted prices for the bulk purchases in the short and the long term and
revert back to the market prices as the business progresses.
9.5 Competition
Most products (>80% of local consumption) consumed in the local market are imported, mainly from South Africa
and China. However, there is now a huge cry by local suppliers for customers to buy from local suppliers, especially
when the clients are in the public sector. A case in point is when the Ministry of Health and Social Services decided
to procure nurses’ uniforms from China in 2014. Cabinet and the public criticized this decision and the Ministry had
to reverse this decision and look for local suppliers for these uniforms.
Local suppliers include Dinapama, Tuhafeni Garment Factory and Palm Garments. These are all situated in
Windhoek, and currently, there is no local dominant textile manufacturer in the country.
Government, through the Ministry of Trade and Industry, is still trying to resuscitate the Dantago Clothing CC in
Arandis which was shut down in the first half of 2014. The main challenge that this factory faced was that it was
reliant on one customer, and when this customer cancelled the contract with the factory, it had to close shop.
The SADC and SACU protocols on trade between member countries will be utilized by the company to gain access
to the regional market. The protocol reflects on free trade between the member countries in the clothing and
garment industry. According to Article 3,of the Trade Protocol all the punitive barriers with regard to trade in
garments have been removed and the member countries can trade between them without so many restrictions.

The aim of the Mufunga Design is to increase and develop a dependency on the local products by the market.
Clothing manufacturing is a labour intensive production process and thus employment creation is one of the major
benefits of the factory. The company is profit driven and will utilise the majority of the marketing tools at its disposal
to reach a broader market share nationally as well as regionally.
The entity understands that regional customers can only be reached via electronic media and for this reason a
website that is distinctive of the entity with its affiliated site developed and implemented. The entity will have a
number of strategic partners from which it can obtain customers especially in the private and public sector where
it can get customers.
Meetings with the relevant ministerial authorities will be conducted by the entity and samples provided showing
the quality of the product. The entity will engage the ministry on the basis of partnership between the ministries.
The entity will utilise its relationship that exists between the MoD and MSS to facilitate meetings with the entity
on the supply of uniforms for the police and prison services.
Pricing will play an important part in luring the private sector to the consumption of the products with emphasis
being on quality and affordability. Aggressive marketing will be done by the company to penetrate the market and
favourable contracts offered to the market .Standardisation of the products will be factored into the products to
allow for a favourable market advantage.
Establishing retail shops will be part of Mufunga Design’s plan in the provisioning of their products to the market.
Quality assurance is the basis of penetrating the retail market in garment manufacturing and they are requirements
for branded products by the retail shops. Mufunga Design will rebrand all its products if it wants to enter the retail
shops market. Mufunga will open 1 shop in Windhoek at the beginning of year 1. In the following year they are
going to open 2 more shops in Katima since that where most of their schools clients are situated. In the third year
they will open 2 more shops in the Northern Region in Oshakati and Ongwediwa.

implemented and with the introduction of the retail, a substantial increase in the market share.
