He was dependable – Namdia security personnel remembers Eiseb

The death of Namib Deserts Diamonds (Namdia) senior security officer Francis Eiseb (57) on Saturday has left an impact on company employees and the lives of all who knew him.

This is according to Namdia safety and security manager Paulinus Sheyapo. He was speaking at Eiseb’s memorial in Windhoek on Thursday evening.

Eiseb was killed in the line of duty at the parastatal in Windhoek during a N$350-million diamond heist on Saturday.

“Francis was a cornerstone not just for the security and safety division but for Namdia as a whole. His selflessness, unwavering commitment, and genuine passion for his work radiated warmth, bringing joy and comfort to those fortunate enough to know him. Francis possessed a wisdom that went beyond work-related issues and influenced all aspects of life,” Sheyapo said.

He said Eiseb often shared insights into life, politics, religion, and personal growth, inspiring those around him to reflect on their values and priorities.

“Francis was dependable, you could always count on him for anything. His consistency, hard work, integrity, and professionalism were evident in every aspect of his role at Namdia. Arriving first and leaving last, he operated like a true captain leading an army.

“His presence provided a sense of comfort, similar to having a father both at home and in the workplace. Crossing paths with Francis would inevitably brighten your day regardless of your mood when you came into the office,” Sheyapo said.
