The Roads Authority (RA) is a non-profit making public entity which was established in the year 2000 by virtue of the Roads Authority Act 17 of 1999 with the sole mandate to manage Namibia’s national road network with a view to achieve a safe and efficient road sector. The RA aligns its Strategic Plan, Key performance indicators (KPI) and Road Master Plan with the National Development Plan (NDP5) and Harambee Prosperity Plan, that confines to Namibia’s Vision 2030. It is through that alignment that RA ensures that projects and programmes are implemented according to national priority. The RA endeavors to strive to extend Namibia’s road network to all corners of the country by constructing safe and efficient roads.

A time to celebrate and reflect
Independence Day has always been a momentous occasion in our country’s history and it will remain like that for many years to come. This year it will be an especially auspicious day, as we not only celebrate 30 years of freedom, but will also witness the inauguration of a new administration, including the swearing-in of President Hage Geingob for his second term as head of state. Namibia is definitely a better place than it was over 30 years ago when the institutionalisation of apartheid divided the country and its resources by race.

That’s how most entertainers make money. From the MC, to the artist, to the Dj, the sound team, the lights team, entertainment journalists, bloggers, vloggers, radio DJs, influencers, dancers, bouncers/security, theatre, event management, and club/lounge owners.
