His warm, broad smile and easy-going manner made him likeable and accessible. Whether donning a tracksuit to join a fun-run along Windhoek's Independence Avenue, or insisting his driver hang back from official motorcades, he aimed […]
Samuel Shafiishuna Daniel Nujoma was born on May 12, 1929, at Etunda village near Okahao in northern Namibia. His educational opportunities were limited because Nujoma spent much of his early childhood looking after his siblings and tending to the family's cattle and traditional farming activities. He, however, attended a Finnish Missionary School at Okahao at the age of 10 and ended at Standard 6. Nujoma moved to Walvis Bay when […]

E-waste refers to discarded electrical and electronic devices that are no longer in use or have reached the end of their life cycle. This includes old computers, mobile phones, televisions, refrigerators, and […]

The message was followed by some crying emojis. Curious, I opened the attachment. It was a photo of some of the carnage in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)—to be precise, the photo of corpses of those killed […]

By: Selma Taapopi Former ombudsman John Walters says there is a need for adequate human rights training for law enforcement officers. Walters' comments come after a Nust study states that 185 out of every 100,000 people in prison have not been tried. The report found out that the prosecution office returned more than 199 police dockets from the Wanaheda, Katutura, and Otjomuise police stations for the immediate release of the […]
