My name is Anton Geinub, and I am 33 years old. I was born and raised in Leonardville, a small village in the Omaheke region of Namibia that is more dust and dreams than anything else. Growing up here, I have seen the sun rise over endless farmlands, watched my parents and grandparents bend their...
Truth is that we did not come into this world as empty shells and voids that need to be filled. We came here divinely prepared and ready, not only to explore and learn, but to express and gift this world with blessings it may not have seen before. So, when we find ourselves in conflict...
The threat of American imperialism is real and is creating instability across the globe. It is about unilateral actions, economic coercion, trade wars and resource control of oil, gas and minerals, tariff imposition, military interventions and coup d’états.

I have been deeply reflecting on the educational qualifications of those elected to public office, raising concerns about how they are really prepared, especially now that they...
The growth of Namibia’s domestic economy is anchored by upbeat activity in the natural resources sector, particularly mining. A look back at the economic stories of 2025 began with a radical policy shift aimed at addressing long-standing social constraints, including high levels of poverty and unemployment. Undeniably, Namibia has one of the highest levels of...
As a nation that faces some of the most severe impacts of climate change, including prolonged droughts, unpredictable rainfall and escalating desertification, Namibia can no longer afford to treat the climate crisis as a sideline issue. Yet today, our response remains fragmented, under-resourced and largely reactive. I acknowledge we have a National Climate Change Policy,...
If Namibia’s new investment framework is to deliver inclusive growth, value addition and policy coherence, the red meat sector must be treated as strategic.
