Founder of Trustco Group Holdings Quinton van Rooyen issues an apology for a sexist advertisement that was published on Facebook for an open position on the company's board. Van Rooyen says he wants to recognise the victims who face daily discrimination, exclusion and injustice, adding that he wants to thank the activists and "passionate Namibians" who spoke up against the issues that must be addressed as a nation. He, however, avoided making any reference to the controversial advert in his statement.
