When a journalist criticized a KFC proposal, the outpouring of support from major brands turned it into a celebration of love and creativity! This shows that it's the thought and emotion behind a proposal that count. 💍✨ #KFCProposal#KFCSA@KFCSouthAfrica
At many graduation ceremonies, it becomes evident that the Girl Child is advancing but the Boy Child appears to be receding.
Dear Kalunga ka Namibia, on this Sunday, I pray that you bless the boy child to emulate education just like the girl child is doing 🙏😊
@mOkapendi Entry level jobs shouldn’t be permanent positions. People should be motivated to move up the structures. This will open up entry level positions for graduates that do not have working years of experience.
TRIBUTE BY EUGENE MAKAI, FORMER COLLEAGUE AT UNIN | Namibia’s third President, Hage Gottfried Geingob, died in the early hours of this morning, February 4, 2024, aged 82.
While many will remember him for his public life and persona and public service, some of us will remember him on a personal level away from probing cameras, journalists and political opponents.
Gottfried as we knew him during his 27 years of exile was a warm, jovial and a little bit shy gentleman in those days. My sister Carol and I knew him in the early 1980s through our circle of friends in the resident UN system, NGO and Diplomatic community.
Gottfried was the founding Director of the United Nations Institute for Namibia or UNIN based in Lusaka, Zambia, an equivalent and mirror of our own National Institute for Public Administration (NIPA) whose main goal was to create capacity and a cadre for a qualified civil service in anticipation of Namibian independence.
In fact, UNIN which was officially inaugurated by the First President of Zambia Dr. Kenneth David Kaunda on 26th August, 1976 was a forerunner to the University of Namibia (UNAM) to which all archives of UNIN were transferred after Namibian independence in 1990.
Gottfried was also a member of the Central Committee and of the Politburo of the South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO). He headed UNIN from 31st July, 1975 to 1989 after which he returned to his homeland to organize for elections prior to independence.
In paying tribute to him, I want to share this video of him (in the brown suit with glasses) at the British High Commissioner (Frank) Stephen Miles official Residence along Independence Avenue in Lusaka where on 15th April, 1977 as Director of UNIN and Politburo member of SWAPO, he and his comrade late Aaron Shihepo SWAPO’s Deputy Secretary for Foreign Relations met British Foreign Secretary David Owen on his visit to Zambia.
This video also contains a scene of Dr. Kaunda officially opening UNIN on 26th August, 1976 and a snapshot of activity in the centre where Namibian Refugees and exiles were trained for a future civil service. There were at least 3,500 documented Namibian refugees in Zambia at the time.
