Year: 2021

The achievements of our star athletes at the recent Tokyo Olympics have made us all feel special in one way or the other.

We cannot expect Polish second-rate retired runner Marcin Urbaś, who grew up eating marshmallows, cornflakes and Zurek, to understand the hardships of an African child fetching water over tens of kilometres by feet or herding cattle across long fields. 

Ongombe ndhoka dha ningi ethimbo dha kana moshitopolwa shaShana, dhimwe dhomudho odha monika.

Rearing chickens is an exciting and rewarding small-scale farming venture that is on the rise in Namibia. Poultry production is common in most parts of the country, with specific focus on meat and egg production. 

Livestock farming is a major livelihood base for much of the population of the Kunene basin, particularly in the middle and lower sections where the climate is dry.

Rangeland productivity is influenced by several factors such as rainfall, soil condition, fire, herbivory, and other ecological forces like plant competition amongst others. In addition, human activities cannot be ignored when it comes to rangeland utilisation. 

There are few things we get wrong as farmers, and we hardly admit to it. It is not surprising; farmers are - just like most of their animals and crops - hardy individuals that are staunch believers in systems and processes they are accustomed to. If they had not tried it themselves, then it probably doesn’t work.

Nollar Tjaimi is a determined woman. Having eventually managed to set up her own communal farm last year, she keeps yearning for more.
