Namibia is one of the few countries in Africa, which has made progress in the agricultural sector since its independence in 1990. Following the newly launched National Development Plan (NDP5) by President Hage Geingob in 2017, the sector is one of the critical segments to advance Namibia’s economic growth. 

Namibia is predominantly a meat (cattle, sheep, goat) producing country, and many farmers are working hard to improve the genetics and performance of their livestock.

Although many people have taken to farming and subsequently reaped rewards from it as agribusiness owners, the sector has not proven popular amongst certain age groups over the years.

The corona plague afflicted me with great force the last few weeks. While I count my blessings for each day of progress against this ordeal, my life has been irrevocably dented by the immense loss of friends and close relatives.

Activities in the domestic construction sector significantly declined due to heavy budgetary cuts and the overall negative impact of Covid-19 pandemic, as both government and private construction work weakened considerably in light of subdued economic activity.

The composite index of Building Plans Completed in Windhoek, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay and Ongwediva recorded a declined monthly growth rate of 23.1% in May 2021 when compared to a reduced growth rate of 19.8% in April 2021. 

Since the domestication process in the Neolithic Age, livestock has spread all over the world as a result of human migration or interchanges among neighbouring human populations.  

The Construction Industries Federation of Namibia (CIF) yesterday said it was with great dismay that it read the article in a local newspaper, titled “Unfinished classrooms, hostels a seven-year eyesore”.
