As demand for biological resources grows globally, Namibia is positioning itself to ensure communities benefit from their use.

Young people should jealously guard the legacy of Namibia's liberation struggle and remember the sacrifices made to secure the country's independence.

As Namibia observes Heroes' Day, the founder of the Kufamosha Information Disability Centre, Petrus Theofelus, popularly known as Makiti, believes heroism can be demonstrated through compassion and making a difference in someone's life. 

Residents of Otjitho Village in the Ruacana Constituency are facing a severe water shortage after their underground water supply dried up.

The situation has forced some residents to spend nights at the water point to get water when it becomes available.

Kornelius Shimuafeni, the young boy who was accorded heroes' status by President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, said he never expected to be honoured for his deed.

For him, it was an act of compassion for fellow human beings in need.
