In 2005, a 12-year-old girl in Ethiopia was kidnapped by men intending to force her into marriage.

A week later, as police closed in, the abductors tried to move her. Suddenly, three lions appeared.

Instead of attacking the child, the lions chased the armed men away. Astonishingly, they then stood guard beside the crying girl for half a day until help arrived.

Police reported that the lions left peacefully when they showed up, leaving the girl completely unharmed.

Experts suggest the girl's crying may have sounded like a cub, triggering the lions' protective instincts.

“Sweetie, where are your parents? I still remember that voice. I was six, sitting on the floor by the dryers. My biological mom left me there and never came back. I kept staring at the door, waiting. People walked past me until Kate stopped. She asked me that question, then sat beside me. She stayed with me at the station for hours. No one showed up. Every number they tried failed. I had nothing but the clothes I was wearing. Kate came back the next morning. And the next. She brought snacks, a blanket, and a small notebook for me. She told the workers she’d foster me “until the right thing happens.” The right thing ended up being adoption papers with her name on them. She raised me on her own. Two jobs. Every school event, every tough night, she was there. I became an officer because I wanted to be what she was for me—someone who doesn’t walk past a lost kid. She still calls me her best decision.”

Against all odds, Leila Muxinga graduated from NUST on 10 October 2025 - after 10 years. Diagnosed with Lupus in 2010, she suffered a stroke in 2020 that left her bedridden for two months with vision and memory difficulties. Raised by a single mother in Swakopmund, she persevered through invisible battles. NUST recognised her extraordinary journey with an award for patience. Faith, family and community carried her through. Her story proves resilience can turn impossibility into triumph. #NUSTGraduation #LupusWarrior

A powerful moment of humanity and leadership at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) graduation ceremony. While some students on stage were not capped, Prime Minister Dr Tjitunga Elijah Ngurare insisted on shaking their hands, even after the presiding officer announced otherwise.

This simple act of kindness and respect, going beyond protocol, speaks volumes about his character and compassion. It’s a reminder that true leadership is about recognising the dignity of every individual, regardless of their circumstances. A truly inspiring moment. #NUST #Namibia #Leadership #Humanity

My two cents on UNESCO AI readiness report on Namibia.
“Readiness is not about what’s written in a document — it’s about what’s being built in classrooms, labs, and communities. Until then, our readiness will remain theoretical, and our AI future will be built elsewhere.”
