A statement from the MTC Nestor Sunshine boxing stable:
“The MTC Nestor Sunshine Boxing and Fitness Academy is aware of a clip on social media alleging reckless driving. We would like to confirm that while this incident happened 5 years ago, it was properly dealt with by the authorities where the circumstances of the overtake was explained and understood.”
“The Academy have always maintained a high level of respect and professionalism and everything that we do whether in or outside the ring and we will continue to maintain that standard that society expects from us. The MTC Nestor Sushine Academy condemns any form of reckless driving and will continue to support any efforts geared towards making Namibian roads safer.”
Hi @NSFAF, you guys never answer your phones, tell me, why did you guys say it's free education for all, provided you have not obtained a qualification on that level, if you are simply going to reject a lot of students because their studies don't fall on your priority list?
We only have about 114k of tax payers or people qualified to pay tax (PAYE), and everyday you will see people advocating for free this and free that. Realistically, we cannot afford to be a welfare state. We need to fix our policy landscape as a matter of urgency.
Many Kenyans don't know that they can invest in global companies like Nvidia, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, etc
In this thread I answer the frequently asked questions about investing in offshore stocks & ETFs as a Kenyan.
1/ What's the minimum investment required?
NEW PASTURES: The Independent Patriots for Former Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) councillor at the City of Windhoek, Bernadus Araeb, has joined Swapo. He was presented to Swapo members this afternoon in John Pandeni Constituency. IPC recalled Araeb as its representative on the City council in July 2025 for allegedly refusing to pay the party a mandatory 10% of his earnings.
If I Had R50,000, Here’s How I would Invest It to Turn It Into R30 Million
If I had R50,000 today, I wouldn’t save it. I would build a high-growth portfolio designed for long-term compounding, aiming for an average return of around 25–30% per year. The goal wouldn’t be overnight success or quick profits, but rather consistent, exponential growth that builds real wealth over time through discipline and patience.
Start With Strong Local Foundations (20%)
I would begin with R10,000 in Namibia’s top-performing unit trust funds, for example, the @OldMutualNam Growth Fund, which has delivered around 22.8% over the past year and allows small starting amounts (as little as N$300). This provides exposure to Namibia’s growing economy and regional markets while benefiting from professional fund management. Local investments like this add stability and balance to a portfolio built for growth.
Add Global Exposure (45%)
Next, I would allocate R22,500 into high-growth global ETFs available on @EasyEquities. These would include the Satrix Nasdaq 100 ETF, which gives exposure to tech giants like Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon; the Satrix MSCI World ETF, which covers top global markets across North America, Europe, and Asia; and the Sygnia 4th Industrial Revolution ETF, which focuses on companies shaping the future through AI, robotics, and digital transformation. These ETFs have delivered annualized returns between 20% and 30% in strong years, and over the long term, this is where the true compounding power lies.
Include Inflation Protection and Alternative Assets (15%)
I would also allocate around R7,500 toward inflation-protected and alternative assets. This could include a gold-backed ETF such as ETFGLD and a small percentage in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. These assets serve as hedges during market uncertainty and provide diversification. They can also deliver strong returns over time when included in small, strategic proportions.
Keep 10% in a money market fund.
The remaining R5,000 would go into a money market fund. Earning around 10-20% annually, this allocation provides liquidity and flexibility to take advantage of future opportunities or to buy more during market dips. It also serves as a small safety buffer in case of emergencies or unexpected expenses.
Once the initial portfolio is built, I would commit to contributing an additional R1,000–R2,000 every month, increasing that amount by 10% each year as income grows. With consistent investing and an average annual return of 25–30%, this portfolio could potentially grow from N$50,000 to N$25–30 million in 25 years. That’s the power of compounding, small, disciplined actions that multiply over time into extraordinary results.
Of course, a 30% annual return is ambitious and comes with higher risk. It’s only realistic with a portfolio tilted toward high-growth assets such as tech-heavy ETFs and emerging market exposure. It means being comfortable with market swings and staying focused on the long-term picture. The key is to remain invested through ups and downs, reinvest all dividends, and avoid the temptation to withdraw early.
