Old Mutual Wealth powers endurance: N$35 000 sponsorship for Power House Cycling Club’s desert dash journey4 December 2025

Old Mutual Wealth proudly announced its sponsorship of Power House Cycling Club, contributing approximately N$35 000 to support four dedicated men as they prepare to tackle one of Namibia’s most iconic endurance events: the Desert Dash.

The Desert Dash is not just a race; it is a legendary test of human strength, resilience, and determination. Spanning over 373 kilometres across the rugged and breathtaking Namib Desert, this event challenges cyclists to push beyond their limits, navigating extreme conditions and unpredictable terrain. For many, completing the Desert Dash is a lifelong dream, a symbol of perseverance and grit.

This year’s Power House Cycling Club lineup is as inspiring as the event itself. The youngest participant on their team is a determined 19-year-old whose courage and drive truly capture the spirit of the Desert Dash. Their presence on the Power House team highlights the importance of nurturing young talent and promoting a culture of endurance and wellness in Namibia. By taking on this challenge, they’re not only pushing their own limits but also inspiring others and helping to shape the future of cycling in our country.

Through this sponsorship, Old Mutual Wealth reinforces its commitment to empowering communities, promoting wellness, and supporting initiatives that inspire excellence. The partnership with Power House Cycling Club reflects shared values of endurance, teamwork, and strategic planning: principles that resonate deeply with Old Mutual Wealth’s mission to help individuals and businesses achieve long-term financial success.

Christopher Freygang, Old Mutual Wealth Manager, emphasised the significance of this collaboration, saying, “We are excited to support Power House Cycling Club in this incredible journey. The Desert Dash is a true test of resilience and determination, values that align perfectly with our mission to empower individuals and communities to achieve their goals. This sponsorship is more than financial support; it is a statement of confidence in the team and a celebration of the spirit of adventure and perseverance. We wish the cyclists the very best as they take on this challenge.”

The Power House Cycling Club has built a reputation for excellence and camaraderie in Namibia’s cycling community. Their participation in the Desert Dash is not only about competition but also about inspiring others to embrace healthy lifestyles and pursue ambitious goals.

Old Mutual Wealth’s involvement in this event is part of a broader commitment to community engagement and sustainable impact. By investing in sports and wellness initiatives, Old Mutual Wealth aims to foster resilience, not just on the cycling track, but in everyday life.
