@Stix_Munene1 I believe it’s high time our government go back to the drawing board on this, a 10 year road safety strategy needs to implemented urgently. Focus should be safer roads, speeds, vehicle worthiness and drivers.
@Stix_Munene1 Public transportation/ private mass transportation should be be strictly for big buses for over 300 kms distance and below that they can allow minibuses. And I’m with you on the curfew for both these as well.
The biggest skill you can develop is the ability to reset fast. Bad conversation? Move on. Bad day?
Start fresh tomorrow. Missed workout? Hit it the next day. Poor decision? Learn and adjust. You can't control what happens to you, but you control how long you let it affect you.

“I got a N$4.5 million dollar there…here is the hammer…are we sure…all through, 4.5 million done,” said Brandon Leer, the auctioneer, as the sale closed to applause.

Local demand offsets drop in Namibia’s livestock exports
Namibia’s livestock industry experienced a notable shift between January and September 2025, as domestic consumption absorbed the impact of falling exports across key meat sectors.
According to the Livestock and Livestock Products Board of Namibia (LLPBN), 69% of beef and 98% of mutton produced during the period were consumed locally.
The LLPBN’s quarterly review shows that despite lower output and rising input costs, the country’s meat industry maintained self-sufficiency, supported by stable pricing and resilient domestic markets.
