NUST Climbs Global Rankings, Retains Top Spot in Namibia

The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) has maintained its position as Namibia’s leading university in the 2026 Times Higher Education rankings.

The university moved from the 1501+ band in 2025 to the 1001-1500 band in 2026.

NUST says its success is driven by practical teaching, applied research, innovation, and community-focused projects such as the SEED Living Lab near Groot Aub.

…as Khomas accounts for 42% of Namibia's registered vehicles

More than 20,500 vehicles enter Windhoek every day, worsening traffic congestion and placing growing pressure on the capital's road network as government warns that the city's dependence on private vehicles has become unsustainable.

Khomas Governor Sam Nujoma said approximately 16,000 vehicles enter the city daily through the northern corridor, while another 4,500 arrive via the southern corridor, in a city with nearly 420,000 registered vehicles and a population of around 500,000.

He said the figures highlight the urgent need to invest in alternative public transport systems to reduce congestion and improve mobility.

Telecom Namibia names Acting CEO as three top executives exit

Telecom Namibia has appointed Armando Perny as Acting Chief Executive Officer following the resignation of Chief Executive Officer Dr Stanley Shanapinda, while the company's Chief Commercial Officer, Calvin Muniswaswa, and Chief Financial Officer, Sharidene Kisting, have also stepped down in a major leadership shake-up.

Perny's appointment takes effect on 1 July 2026 and will run for one month while the board begins the recruitment process for a substantive Chief Executive Officer.

The company said Perny was selected based on his operational experience within Telecom Namibia and his understanding of the organisation's strategic priorities.

The board also confirmed the resignation of Muniswaswa, effective 30 June 2026, and Kisting, whose departure will take effect on 30 September 2026.

Seen so many of the Rössing Uranium stories today for the 50th celebration, and it’s truly remarkable to see the meaningful impact they have had on the communities where they operated and on the lives of their employees. A legacy worth acknowledging. And they continues to do so

@mieyolisa But there’s also a question on the undergraduate degree vs the role 😅

The auto market has quietly rewritten old assumptions. Chinese cars were once seen as the “budget compromise.” Today, they are becoming the preferred choice. Perception follows performance. Going to get myself “Omoda”

[The Brief @TheBriefLive]

Chinese vehicle manufacturers are on course to capture 20% of Namibia's automotive market by the end of 2026, marking a structural shift in the country's vehicle landscape as brands such as Jetour, Haval and Chery continue to gain ground.

According to Simonis Storm economist Almandro Jansen, Chinese brands accounted for 16.3% of vehicle sales in May, maintaining the record share achieved in April and demonstrating that their rapid growth is not a temporary phenomenon.

"The Chinese brand share is on a credible glide path towards 20% by year-end, and the principal questions for incumbent manufacturers concern pricing discipline and product positioning rather than volume defence," Jansen said.

He noted that the expanding presence of Chinese manufacturers across passenger, light commercial and heavy vehicle segments confirms a broad-based transformation of the market rather than the success of a single brand.

how do organisations practically measure or assess entrepreneurial capability in a way that is objective and meaningful during board selection?

[Haidula Johannes @haidulaj]

She has consistently been putting out very insightful pieces on boards, governance, and institutional frameworks, and this is another strong contribution. My question, however, is around implementation: when advocating for a balance that includes entrepreneurial skills on boards,

[The Brief @TheBriefLive]

By Hilda Basson-Namundjebo

Namibia’s public enterprise boards are frequently populated by academics, technocrats, and compliance specialists.

Their expertise is valuable, but too often these boards become insular; absorbed in inward-facing compliance, risk registers, and policy manuals.

Governance without grit. Structures that tick boxes but struggle to grasp what the business must deliver at its core.

Swing the pendulum the other way and you find entrepreneurs. They bring energy, instinct, and a relentless focus on delivery. They understand markets, customers, and the urgency of cash flow.

NAMRA needs to bring Lisa in and train every employee dealing with clients on what customer service actually means. Taxpayers are not an inconvenience they are customers, and ultimately the reason salaries are paid. No one should be forced to folow up on the things for 6 months

When an employer gives you a PIP start looking for a new job immediately!

[Haidula Johannes @haidulaj]

But look at what Vocational institutions have done. If someone has practical experience and can do the job, institutions assess their competence and then award a qualification that formally recognizes their ability. What would be the implication in professional fields Mybe ?

[Lisa Matomola @mieyolisa]

In my upcoming book, IMPACT, I discuss career mismatch among some Namibian professionals. One common challenge is having qualifications in one field but experience in another, creating a gap that can make it difficult for employers to assess suitability for a role.

In 2010, I received a call from the then Telecom Namibia bursary officer informing me that I was one of the successful candidates to be awarded a fully funded bursary from Telecom Namibia.

It was this funding that enabled me to pursue and complete my Bachelor's IT in Software Engineering at the then Polytechnic of Namibia, a life-defining moment that changed my life.

After graduating, I joined Telecom Namibia and spent six rewarding years working across different departments. One of my key roles was as a Business Intelligence Analyst, where I provided data-driven insights to support strategic decision-making.

During my time at Telecom Namibia, I also furthered my education, obtaining a Master’s degree in Computer Science.
