LOCAL FILM PREMIERE … Almost six years after the ShutItAllDown protests, writer and director Shili Munyama’s ‘Wrong Generation’ (2026) premiered at Ster-Kinekor in Windhoek last week. ‘Wrong Generation’ is inspired by executive producer Ndiilokelwa Nthengwe’s book ‘You Fucked With the Wrong Generation! - An Ode to Modern Day Activism in Namibia’ (2022), which reflects on the protests. The film will be in cinemas from 19 to 26 June. Read more in today’s edition of The Weekender. Video: Martha Mukaiwa

Dear Artist:

Today I’m not here to fight. I’m just here asking, begging and pleading that you please read your contracts. I know it’s a lot of pages but read it- all of it. We all run to the duration and remuneration parts then sign. Please, please read your parts, the producer’s parts and the channel’s parts. Know your rights, obligations and responsibilities. Read that contract like a novel if you have to and mark all the parts you don’t understand or need clarity on. Sit with your manager/agent and even get legal advice where necessary so you’re able to amend, tweak and customize it. Add your own clauses for your protection- we all do it. Reasons may be religion, culture and simply personal preferences but if it’s not put in the contract, we’ll always have issues.

We screw ourselves by not reading the FINE PRINT. It’s not called ‘fine print’ by mistake, the font is even smaller. Let’s start here so we’re able to fight bigger battles. We can’t march to DSAC to fight contracts and laws we don’t know anything about. I’m not getting burned in the sun for nothing. Let’s know the field, let’s interrogate the industry so we’re able to wisely deal with the injustices we face on a daily. We speak regulation of the industry, do we even understand what we’re asking for? Do we even know what the Performers' Protection Amendment Bill is all about? Let’s equip ourselves. Read, ask, inquire and be in the know so we don’t fight in the dark.

Lastly, speak up. Even if your voice is shaking, speak up. This is your life, not a popularity contest. Don’t compromise yourself for the sake of being liked. If they blacklist you, so be it. They can’t blacklist all of us. Play your part- start with personal responsibility and accountability. The change you want to see starts with you. Let’s!

Now, back to the beginning: find your contract and read it then we can talk. Ke a le rata neh! ❤️🇿🇦

Today, we remember.

Though I am not Herero or Nama, I am Namibian. And as a Namibian, I carry the solemn duty to remember our people—those who endured unspeakable suffering during the first genocide of the 20th century.

The Herero and Nama genocide was not just a wound to two communities—it was a scar upon our nation’s soul. Yet, from the ashes of that horror rose a spirit so resilient, so unbreakable, that it birthed the Namibia we know today.

Today, we honour the children of this soil. We mourn their pain, we acknowledge their resilience, and we recommit ourselves to building a country rooted in justice, dignity, and truth.

Let this day remind us that remembrance is not about reliving the pain—but about uplifting the humanity that persisted through it. The Herero and Nama were not victims alone. They were farmers, mothers, warriors, and dreamers. They were Namibians.

Friendship grief is such an interesting thing. Cause do I wanna be your friend as it stands today? No. Do I wanna be the version of me that enjoyed the friendship? No. But at times do I miss the friendship? Yes.

[Jason Kooper @jason_kooper]

Nice people can do shitty stuff. When you find out they did something shitty, that shouldn’t be a time for you to defend them. A rapist is a nice person to others, a corrupt person is a nice . Don’t be too quick to defend them. Human beings have the capacity to be shitty people.

Ek is nou ‘n geel tee Nama 😭😭😭 After I was told by the doctor to stop drinking coffee due to health reasons, I had to resort to tea. I have become the Nama stereotype 😭😭😭
