No matter where I am in the world, this will always be my favorite food. I absolutely love Oshiwambo cuisine, especially when I visit the (Omatala)open market in Oshakati. #FavoriteFood#OshiwamboCuisine#OmatalaOpenMarket
President Netumbo is going to Tanzania for a four-day visit after pretending not to endorse murderous Samia by withholding congratulations following her fake election victory. Now the mask is off.
Shame on the Namibian media for its silence.

@omoboy1940@Am_Blujay You are the one who is foolish. Your children are in the bush while you are in places where you are not wanted, yet you are still fighting to stay there. Maybe focus on fixing things back home instead of looking for new countries to burden
MESSAGE BY HER EXCELLENCY DR. NETUMBO NANDI-NDAITWAH, ON THE OCCASION OF THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE AFRICAN CHILD, 16 JUNE 2026
Fifty years ago, on 16 June 1976, the streets of Soweto became a battleground between innocent schoolchildren and an unjust system determined to silence their voices. The tragic killing of children, including the young Hector Pieterson, exposed the brutality of apartheid to the world and transformed a student protest into a defining moment in Africa’s liberation history.
The children of Soweto were not merely protesting against a language policy. They were standing up against a system that sought to dictate the limits of their future, a system that denied them the freedom to dream, to choose their own path and to realise their full potential. Their courage was born from the belief that every child deserves the right to quality education, dignity, opportunity and the freedom to become whatever they aspire to be.
Their sacrifice helped pave the way for the freedoms many African children enjoy today. It reminds us that the opportunities available to our children were hard won and should never be taken for granted. Because of the struggles of those who came before them, today’s African child can dream without limits, pursue knowledge without barriers and aspire to become a teacher, engineer, farmer, entrepreneur, scientist, artist, doctor, leader or anything else their talents and ambitions allow.
The courage displayed by the children of Soweto resonated far beyond the borders of South Africa.
It inspired freedom movements across the continent, including Namibia’s own struggle for independence, and strengthened the resolve of a generation determined to secure justice, dignity and freedom for all.
Today, as we commemorate the Day of the African Child, we honour the memory of those young heroes whose sacrifice helped shape a better future for millions of African children. Their legacy reminds us that the rights and wellbeing of children must remain at the centre of our efforts to build peaceful, inclusive and prosperous societies.
This year’s theme, “Ensuring Universal Access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Every Child in Africa,” highlights the fundamental responsibility we share to create conditions in which every child can thrive. Access to clean water, proper sanitation and hygiene is not a privilege, but a fundamental human right and an essential foundation for health, education, dignity and development.
As we celebrate the African Child, we must also confront the realities that continue to threaten their wellbeing. Child abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence remain unacceptable violations of the rights of our children. We must speak out against these injustices and work collectively to ensure that every child grows up in a safe, caring and supportive environment.
The African Child is one of our continent’s greatest assets. Investing in children is investing in Africa’s future. Since Independence, Namibia has remained committed to expanding opportunities for children through education, healthcare and social protection, recognising that the development of our nation depends on the development of its people.
Through the Eighth Administration’s commitment to subsidised tertiary education at public institutions, we continue to invest in the potential of our young people, empowering them to acquire the knowledge, skills and capabilities necessary to contribute meaningfully to national development and to shape the future of our country.
As we mark fifty years since the Soweto Uprising, let us honour the legacy of those brave young people not only in remembrance, but through action. Let us build a Namibia and an Africa where every child is safe, educated, healthy, respected and empowered to realise their full potential.
I wish all African children a meaningful Day of the African Child.
Happy Day of the African Child.

The High Court's decision to award social activists Michael Amushelelo and Dimbulukeni Nauyoma compensation for their unlawful arrest, detention and prosecution is more than a legal victory for two individuals. It is a sobering reminder that democracy comes at a cost when those entrusted with protecting constitutional rights choose instead to suppress them. https://t.co/e04epYYcP2
Out of all current affairs, immigration is my favourite topic. I’ve lived as an immigrant and also as a citizen , so I feel like I’ve seen it from both perspectives. I’m not taking a side on anything, I’m just really interested in the different opinions people have on this issue.
Seeing past videos of xenophobic attacks is really bad. It’s sad that only around 600 Zimbabweans are reportedly considering going back home, even though you’re over 2 million in South Africa. Honestly, my brothers & sisters, please consider going back home, it’s not worth it.
The Government of Zimbabwe, like any administration that truly values its people, holds the safety and well-being of its nationals as a matter of deepest concern. To date, we have been able to repatriate 660 of our citizens from South Africa, and we remain committed to supporting all those who wish to return home. If you or someone you know requires assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our embassy and consulates. We will leave no one behind.
I hate having limited knowledge. Don’t tell me to stay quiet when people are discussing loans, credit structures, and investment strategies. What formal education didn’t cover, I’ve learned through YouTube,& financial content. not working in banking should not mean clueless
