R240 MILLION PAYDAY FOR CEO

Phuthi Mahanyele-Dabengwa, CEO of Naspers South Africa, has sold R239-million worth of shares in a single transaction.

The share options were part of incentive packages granted between 2020 and 2023. The sale, made on 30 July, was reportedly to settle taxes and related costs.

Despite cashing out, she retained 9,999 shares worth over R55-million. Her total pay last year was R44-million, and she is now on the Naspers board, with a Prosus board seat pending.

Pope Francis’s personal wealth at the time of his death was just $100, or less than 90 euros.
He had no property, no personal bank accounts, and no investments.

According to the British newspaper Mirror, Pope Francis was entitled to an annual salary of about 340,000 euros since he was elected Supreme Pontiff in 2013. However, as a member of the Society of Jesus, he had taken a vow of poverty and decided never to receive that salary during his entire pontificate.

Instead of living in the luxurious papal apartments used by his predecessors, Francis chose to reside in the Casa Santa Marta, a small residence within the Vatican, where he led a much simpler life.

During his pontificate, he rejected many luxuries and maintained a modest routine, despite having all necessary expenses covered by the Vatican, such as food, travel, security, and accommodation..

Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another.

Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”

The passing of President Nujoma marks the end of an Era. It’s sad

Announcement of the Passing of the Founding President of the Republic of Namibia and Founding Father of the Nation, His Excellency Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma

Fellow Namibians

The foundations of the Republic of Namibia have been shaken. Over the past three weeks, the Founding President of the Republic of Namibia and Founding Father of the Namibian Nation was hospitalized for medical treatment and medical observation due to ill health. Unfortunately, this time, the most gallant son of our land could not recover from his illness.

It is therefore with utmost sorrow and sadness that I announce this morning of the 9th of February 2025 to the Namibian people, our African brothers and sisters and the world at large, about the passing of our revered freedom fighter and revolutionary leader, H.E. Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma. President Nujoma passed on at the age of 95 on the 8th of February at 23h45 in Windhoek, Namibia.

Our Founding Father lived a long and consequential life during which he exceptionally served the people of his beloved country. Our Founding Father heroically marshalled the Namibian people during the darkest hours of our liberation struggle until the attainment of freedom and independence on the 21st of March 1990.

As Founding President, His Excellency, Dr. Sam Nujoma provided maximum leadership to our nation and spared no effort to motivate each and every Namibian to build a country that would stand tall and proud among the nations of the world. In that vein, our venerable leader, Dr. Nujoma did not only blaze the trail to freedom – but he also inspired us to rise to our feet and to become masters of this vast land of our ancestors.

During this period of national mourning, we should be comforted by the unmatched leadership and extraordinary contributions of President Nujoma to the liberation struggle, the development and unity of the Namibian people.

I would like to thank the medical staff who cared diligently for our treasured leader. Also, I would like to thank Namibians and friends of Namibia who extended messages and prayers of recovery to our Founding Father and Founding President, His Excellency, Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma.

On behalf of the people and the Government of the Republic of Namibia, I convey my sincere condolences to the Founding First Lady of the Republic of Namibia, Her Excellency Kovambo Nujoma, Honorable Utoni Nujoma, the children, as well as the entire Nujoma and Kondombolo Family.

Following consultations with the Nujoma and Kondombolo family, the Government of the Republic of Namibia will announce a period of national mourning and burial arrangements.

God bless the Republic of Namibia.

I thank you.

His Excellency Dr Nangolo Mbumba

President of the Republic of Namibia
