Coming Up Dinner 2025 💫

Our Class of 2025 #RhodesScholars celebrated the start of their time as Scholars in Residence with our annual formal dinner in #RhodesHouse.

[Michael Petrus @Michael_Petrus2]

I’ve officially started my PhD (DPhil) in Cardiovascular Science at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar!

Becoming a medical doctor the first time wasn't enough, so here is my second attempt.

All the way from Namibia to Oxford!

Highly recommend being friends with ambitious people. Their drive pushes you to also work hard for yourself. They inspire you to do better, be better. Their good traits rub off on you. You start to want better for yourself and you grow.

Cuídanos a todos, todos, todos.

Voter turnout statistics for this election can’t possibly be reliable, because the people turned up - they were simply met with utter incompetence and unpreparedness. What a sad day for Namibian democracy.

[aaaaaa @aaaaaa3o7]

The Electoral Commission of Namibia @ECN_Namibia has displayed shocking incompetence and a blatant disregard for its constitutional duty. How does an institution have four years to prepare for elections and still manage to fail so miserably? It is outrageous that most, if not all, voting stations are reportedly out of ballot papers. To make matters worse, ECN officials are admitting that the ballot papers have been completely depleted in their storeroom. This is an insult to the democratic process and a slap in the face to every voter who showed up to exercise their right. Such gross negligence is unacceptable, and the ECN’s management should not only be ashamed but immediately dismissed. This level of failure cannot go unpunished! Namibians deserve better!

OFFICIALLY STARTED MY FULL TIME MASTERS OF SCIENCE AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY!! 📚🤍

This is a love letter to stubborn optimists who insist on bending reality to their will. Let the dreamers keep dreaming.
