Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology

The Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology (NIMT) is a technical institute in Arandis, Namibia. It offers courses in mining, manufacturing and engineering. [1] In 2007, De Beers donated N$2.1 million to open a second, northern campus and in November of that year a campus was opened in Tsumeb.[2]

In 2006, De Beers Marine Namibia donated used mining equipment to NIMT. Equipment included a hydraulic pump, gearbox and motor, a high-pressure pump and electrical motors.[3]

In September 2009, thieves broke into the main office of the Institute by smashing a window and disabling the alarm. They stole N$350,000 and used a duplicate key to gain entry to the safe. The funds were designated for the registration, accommodation and transportation of trainees. Police believed they were somehow affiliated with the Institute and a N$20,000 award was offered for information.[4]
