Sossusvlei must be open for unrestricted use, firstly, by all Namibians, and, secondly, by international visitors (tourists). The line Minister will administer the relevant regulations.
Phase 2 (irrigation scheme) of Neckertal Dam is long overdue. The line Minister will ensure that by the second quarter of this year, through a credible PPP process with the adjacent landowners, dust must be seen.
I have put together a simple step-by-step guide to help more Namibians understand how to invest on the Namibia Securities Exchange.
Ownership changes everything. The market is open, the question is, are you in it?

If I had N$100,000 to invest on the NSX, this is how I would allocate it
I would put N$25,000 in Capricorn Group and N$20,000 in FirstRand Namibia, strong banking institutions at the center of the economy. Banks always earn through lending, transactions, and fees. Owning them means participating in that profitability.
I would allocate N$20,000 to MTC for infrastructure exposure. Data demand keeps growing, and telecom remains essential.
Then N$20,000 into Oryx Properties for property backed income and diversification.
N$15,000 in Letshego Holdings as a higher risk, higher reward play in the lending space.
That gives me exposure to finance, telecom, and property.

This is exactly why we campaigned so hard for her last year. Namibia’s pride will be restored. We will be amongst the best in Africa. We will rise beyond politics and focus on development.
My take on the recent elections, Namibians are woke now. We're no longer voting out of loyalty but based on performance. 💯
SWAPO dropped the ball before, so people shifted. Those new parties relaxed and got stripped just as fast. But under Meekulu, SWAPO is performing again, it's visible. If this continues, they might reclaim their 2/3 majority.
Opposition in parliament needs to prove they deserve our votes next time. People are tired of non performers. You can't fight for a position and then fail to deliver.👀
This is a lurking danger. It's easy for "American Democracy" to arm a group of people to overthrow a government. America should intervene without limit? This is Treason.
Occupation forces? This politics are the ones that led to civil wars and the people that instigate such violence barely stay to see the results of their actions. Swartbooi must be condemned and called to order we can’t have such statements made by politicians and we leave them.

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.

Here for this. So many people are being fined for failing to carry their driver's license even though they possess one. Kudos to Tate Nekundi and RA/Natis
Namibia’s lowest repo was about 3.75 % in 2020 and that period sparked a wave of property buying. Banks offered relatively affordable mortgage deals, and developers enjoyed brisk sales as people rushed to take advantage of the cheaper credit environment.

Currently no genetic counselors in Namibia too.
