Month: March 2021

Namibia as a child of international solidarity shall celebrate her 31st independence anniversary from the yoke of colonialism on Sunday 21 March 2021.

At 31 years of independence the average Namibian is black, young, unemployed, poor and landless. One would think that the end of apartheid and colonialism would have heralded a new Namibia for the generation born at its demise. The current socio-economic dynamics are unfavourable towards young people. 

Thirty-one years ago, the Namibian constitution made right of way for an independent judiciary system as an essential condition to promote democracy and human rights.

The fishing industry has been one of the largest contributors to Namibia’s economy and had been in existence prior to the country’s independence. The industry currently employs close to 15 000 people with the hake sector creating 10 000 of those working opportunities.

We are now celebrating 31 years of our independence.

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.

Despite a potpourri of challenges, southern commentators believe Namibia has done relatively well, including bringing about peace and stability 31 years after independence. 

Despite the challenges the marginalised Ovahimba community continue to face, some applauded the government for the good strides geared towards uplifting their lives over the years.

Namibia’s 31st independence anniversary should reflect the country’s ability to unite as a nation, which was previously divided on ethnic and racial lines under one roof, says National Assembly Speaker Peter Katjavivi. 

In 1989, the people of Namibia exercised their democratic right for the first time ever, when they elected members of the Constituent Assembly that drew up the Constitution.
