The EFF that once gave us hope. A movement that represented dreams an entire young generation. We were so close to believing that change was finally within reach, yet today, that dream feels further away than ever. What was every young person's hope has become a distant memory 💔
Allow me to re-introduce myself…..
On Friday, 30 October 2026 before Justice Usiku, I took an oath to demean myself in the practice of a legal practitioner and to protect the Constitution of the Republic of Namibia as the Supreme law ⚖️🇳🇦
Affirmative Repositioning leader Professor Job Amupanda has called for the National Assembly to address five questions concerning its legislative powers, parliamentary procedures and compliance with the Constitution.
In his notice of motion, Amupanda questions why the executive has a Cabinet Committee on Legislation while the National Assembly has no dedicated committee responsible for legislation.
He also challenges what he describes as the absence of legislation originating from the National Assembly that has been passed and brought into operation since independence.
On private members’ bills, Amupanda questions why elected MPs must obtain authorisation from an unelected official, arguing that Article 60(2) of the Constitution allows such bills to be introduced if supported by one-third of National Assembly members.
He further raises concerns about the absence of laws and parliamentary directives governing the appointment of the Secretary of the National Assembly, as provided for under Article 52 of the Constitution.
The motion also questions the Attorney General’s role in representing the National Assembly in legal disputes, given that Article 87(b) identifies the Attorney General as the principal legal adviser to the President and government.
Professor Amupanda further questions why local authority bylaws and regulations have allegedly not been tabled in the National Assembly, as required under Article 111(5) of the Constitution.
He argues that the five issues raise concerns about the House’s ability to discharge its constitutional responsibilities and calls for answers and remedial measures to ensure compliance with the Constitution.

The older I get, the more I feel disconnected from football. I used to watch every EPL game, adulting is something else man🙆♂️. Now I check final results and move on.
The Bank of Namibia announces that, with effect from 2 October 2026, Access Bank Namibia Limited is authorised to conduct banking business in Namibia.
The authorisation was granted in terms of section 13(2) of the Banking Institutions Act, 2023 (Act No. 13 of 2023), following a comprehensive assessment by the Bank of Namibia.
Access Bank Namibia Limited may now conduct banking business in Namibia, including accepting deposits and providing banking services to the public.
I have been thinking long and hard about the oudekraal principle and the functus officio doctrine over the past few days, very clear principles generally but complicated by factual context 😮💨
