On the Move
Bohitile: Still moving

By Dorcas Mhungu - August 2011
WHEN the Windhoek Country Club Resort and Casino appointed Clara Bohitile as a board member recently she was not breaking new ground but plunging into a pool of familiar waters as she bagged the fifth board member position that she will serve for the next three years.
The Windhoek Country Club Resort and Casino is a state-owned four star 152-room hotel with an 18-hole golf course, a swimming pool and a river, roll ball and casino.
Commenting on her new appointment Bohitile says, “This is another opportunity to serve and to make a difference and to also make our male counterparts realise that we can do it.

Windhoek Country Club is a parastatal and the Ministry of Environment and Tourism appoints the board members. I cannot say what made them choose me.”
The former Deputy Minister of Basic Education, Sport and Culture as well as Finance, proudly retraces her footsteps from school going age, “I was born in Windhoek many years ago and the most interesting thing many people ask is how the city girl became a passionate farmer.”
Bohitile went to school in Old Location at the Catholic School and later moved to Gunichas Roman Catholic School in Omaheke.
She proceeded to Dobra High School and when she completed High School she enrolled at Tshiye edCollege in South Africa where she studied Home Economics.
Bohitile’s thirst for education was not quenched and after graduating from Tshiye College, she furthered her studies at Vista University in South Africa for specialized training in Home Economics and English. Back home, Bohitile got a teaching post at Shifidi Secondary School in Katutura.
