I am [name redacted], Angolan to the core, born in Huíla Province, in the municipality of Lubango, and I live near the SWAPO Cemetery 🪦.

Speaking about these Angolan children who wander around Namibian cities and towns begging for money, I have the following to inform:

These children are from the "Ovamuila" ethnic group, and they live in Huíla Province, in the municipality of Humpata (MPHATA), in the locality of Bata-Bata (Mbata Vata). This population is rich in cattle and goats, and has a lot of cereals. They are not poor, they are rich. But they are very greedy.
They don’t like to spend their wealth often, they prefer to send their children to the streets of certain cities to beg for money, and in the end they accumulate large sums of money from begging.

Here in Huíla Province, at all tourist sites, bakeries, supermarkets, and ATMs, the presence of these children is constant. They are irritating, they don’t let tourists enjoy their outings in peace. They are always asking. The city of Lubango where I work is currently rounding them all up and sending them to a shelter, but the parents then show up and take them out of there, and send them to Namibia. They target tourist spots in the city, their presence is still noticeable.

They are people who reject school education. In the areas where they live, the schools are abandoned and empty because they don’t want to study.

I’m not saying this out of emotion, I’m saying it because it is the reality. Therefore, you Namibians, if you continue giving money to these children, you will be encouraging them to keep up this practice. Never try to adopt them, because that is not the main focus of their parents. The parents’ main objective is for them to beg for money and then hand the money over to their parents. Whoever tries to adopt them will regret it. Because this is a very complicated tribe.

That’s all from me, I hope you haven’t misunderstood me.

The young people of this country are the ones that will save this country. Once we return to the values of meritocracy in public service, such talent will not go to waste.

From train driver to AI filmmaker: a $440 short film just got praised by a Hollywood director. 🎬

A 29‑year‑old in China made a Pixar‑level movie in 10 days using Seedance 2.0 and free tools. No studio. No crew.

Here's the warning:

If one person with $440 can do this, what happens when Anthropic and OpenAI go public? Wall Street will pour billions into the same AI tech that's about to upend Hollywood.

The IPOs aren't just tech events. They're the beginning of the end for traditional filmmaking.

Nassim Taleb just laid out the single most important rule in fat-tail statistics:

"work with alpha, not the mean"

The mean is not a valid variable for power-law distributions.

The estimator of alpha, however, is beautifully Gaussian - and that's your way in.

[The Brief @TheBriefLive]

A Namibian computer science researcher is part of a University of Cape Town team that has developed a new artificial intelligence language model trained specifically on South Africa’s 11 official written languages, in a move aimed at addressing the exclusion of African languages from mainstream AI systems.

The research, led by Namibian master’s student Anri Lombard together with Jan Buys and Francois Meyer, will be presented at the Language Resources and Evaluation Conference 2026 in Mallorca this month.

The project introduces two systems: MzansiText, a multilingual dataset covering South Africa’s 11 official written languages, and MzansiLM, a language model trained from scratch using the dataset.

Absolute bombshell. Prominent economist Richard Werner confirms the 1997 Asian financial crisis was completely engineered.

He reveals the IMF deliberately bankrupted Thailand to force them into selling off their national industries to foreign elites for pennies!
