With independence , Mushimba played a dominant role in a number of business initiatives ranging from fishing through banking to construction . Several made newspaper headlines in the 1990s . He was chairman of Stocks and Stocks Namibia when the company built the Windhoek Country Club and Resort . The hotel 's construction fell so far behind schedule that its launch event , the Miss Universe pageant of 1995 , had to be held with the complex only part-completed . By the end of the decade , the government owned the hotel after Stocks and Stocks failed to pay its debts . Stocks and Stocks also won contracts worth over N$ 300 million to build government office buildings in the 1990s . The government granted Mushimba 's mining company , PE Minerals , the mineral rights for the Rosh Pinah zinc mine in 1995 . Following three years of uncertainty over the future of the mine , PE Minerals signed a partnership deal with the mine owners , Iscor , at the end of 1998 . Another company that Mushimba heads , Namibian Harvest Investments , bought the majority share in the struggling City Savings and Investment Bank in 2001
