The appointment of Ambassador Selma Ashipala-Musavyi is commendable. She brings a wealth of experience in the world of diplomacy, while Namibia focuses on advancing its global economic attractiveness. It is worth noting the progressive strides taken by Namibia’s newly-inaugurated President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. Her decision to merge the ministries of international relations and cooperation with...
The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), set to take effect in 2026, is a policy designed to combat carbon leakage and promote fair competition by imposing tariffs on imports from countries with weaker climate policies.

Law schools encourage students to remain neutral, upholding the rule of law and advocating for justice without fear or favour. This principle lies at the heart of legal practice, where attorneys defend the accused, regardless of their personal beliefs. Recently, a prominent Namibian lawyer sparked a national debate by advocating for the decriminalisation of prostitution. ...
‘Don’t judge a fish by how it rides a bicycle’ is my favourite saying, as I believe it encapsulates the experience of some organisations offering advice. It is my view that one size does not fit all. Teaching a fish to ride a bicycle simply does not work. The notion that we can impose generic...
Finally, we answered that generational call, as we are about to swear in our fifth president, who happens to be first female president of country. Netumbo Ndemupelila Nandi-Ndaitwah is passionate about ethical leadership and service delivery as well as a staunch advocate for youth empowerment. Namibia and Namibians can be assured of the highest standard...
