Children of businessman Frans Aupa Indongo, along with other family members, took to the streets to demand the resignation of Martin Shipanga, Chairman of the Indongo Group, and Salomon “Solly” Amadhila, Chairman of the Indongo Trust.
The demonstrators marched to the Indongo family homestead at Continental Number One at Oshakati, where they presented a petition outlining their concerns. However, the petition was not received, as the office of the Chairman of the Indongo Trust was closed at the time of their arrival.
In their petition, the family members called for greater representation of the founder's children and immediate family in the governance structures of the Indongo Group and Indongo Trust.
They argued that, as members of the founder's immediate family, they should have a meaningful role in decision-making concerning the future of the institutions established by Indongo, including matters relating to his legacy, interests and long-term wishes.
The family members expressed concern that their voices and interests have allegedly been excluded from important discussions concerning the group's business affairs and the future management of the founder's legacy because his children and family members were removed from the board.
They further called for a review of the positions and terms of office of Shipanga and Amadhila, alleging that their respective terms had expired.
The family raised concerns regarding who holds the authority to renew or extend the terms of office for Shipanga and Amadhila. They also called for greater clarity and transparency in the governance arrangements.
The demonstrators are demanding that both Shipanga and Amadhila step down from their positions with immediate effect.
Beyond governance issues, the family is also calling for greater financial support for the founder's children and family members.
Their demands reportedly include assistance with education and further studies, medical support, business opportunities and other forms of necessary family assistance.
They said the family wants the institutions associated with Frans Aupa Indongo's legacy to operate on principles of transparency, accountability, respect, proper governance and meaningful family representation.

One simple psychological test you can try is what I call the “napkin effect.”
Next time you host a gathering, whether at home or at work, pay attention to this.
First, place a stack of ordinary napkins out for your guests. Nothing special, just the usual kind.
Observe what happens. People will grab them freely, often taking several at once. There is no hesitation, no real care. They use them quickly, throw them away, and go back for more without thinking.
Now try something slightly different another time.
Put out napkins that are not necessarily more expensive, just visually different — maybe brighter, more elegant, or simply less common.
Watch closely again.
This time, behavior shifts. People tend to take one at a time. They use them more carefully. They even try to make them last longer.
Nothing fundamentally changed about the napkins themselves — only the perception did.
When something looks distinct or slightly elevated from the ordinary, people instinctively treat it with more value.
It is the same dynamic you see in everyday life: presentation influences respect.
Stand out — in the right way — and people will naturally treat you differently.
Low-key, HipHop is the one genre that requires you to have serious knowledge about everything. From cars to fashion, music, movies, politics, history, sports, books, places, events, even art.
If you're not tapped in, the bars will most likely fly over your head.
That's why rap is for smart people. 😉 😉
Holiday vibes in South Africa need to be studied.
Bear with me here.
We know that Dezemba is an entire culture. It is something kinda wonderful. Most of the country just shuts down. Usually for like a month. And yes, that’s very much on par with the Northern Hemisphere’s “Summer” holidays. But in reality, I believe we shut down for much longer. Like, I know of people who are going to “work” in November but doing the bare minimum cause they have so many end-of-year parties that they can’t quite function normally. And then, when you get back to work in January, many people reply to emails (if they reply) with, “let’s pick this up in Feb”. So, it’s like a 3-month vibe. For the lucky ones.
But then we also have Easter.
Which should only be a long weekend, right?
Well, not so much.
Apparently, many of us think April is a non-month too. In our heads. Even though it’s still very much a working month.
You see, in past years (the very lucky ones), the Easter long weekend falls very close to the middle of the month. So, we get 4 public holidays very close to each other. And many just switch off for this period. I guess it’s because we follow the school holiday calendar. Last year, Good Friday was on the 18th of April… which meant many people only got back into work on the 5th of May.
See, it needs to be studied.
This year we’re not so lucky.
But with that said, I am getting quite a few OOO email replies. Yesterday I was even in a meeting, with a very diverse group (from a couple of different companies and sectors) and at the end of the call, it was collectively decided to park the conversation and pick it up when the Easter break was over. I have no idea what that means though. Like… is it after this long weekend? Or are we following “school holiday” calendars? Some schools go back on the 8th. Some on the 15th. And some after the 27th of April (Freedom Day) and the 1st of May (Workers Day)? So when are we picking the convo up again? I have no clue. I’ll report back when we eventually do.
Anyway, that’s my Chooseday ramble.
Holiday vibes in South Africa need to be studied.
Also, start planning for 2028 friends. Easter is mid-month again. It’s happening people!!!
Okay. Love you. Bye.
