You are in the boardroom having fruitful deliberations, and you are well on your way to sealing the deal.

President Nangolo Mbumba, your life thus far encapsulates an important and integral chapter in the history of Namibia.

In the vibrant political landscape of Namibia, where one could find the echoes of a rich history reverberating against the backdrop of stunning landscapes, the call for political consciousness emerges as a crucial element in shaping the nation’s future, especially when one is to consider the year that is 2024.

Namibia’s vibrant tapestry of cultures and landscapes is witnessing a surge of youth-led social activism, and it’s not just the capital Windhoek anymore. This exciting shift is empowering young voices in the often-overlooked towns of the south, small rural communities, and the north. 

As an enthusiastic advocate for a prosperous and industrialised Namibia, it’s evident to me that propelling Vocational Education and Training is pivotal to realising this aspiration within the timeframe outlined in Vision 2030.
