A veteran of the Liberation Struggle, Ellen Musialela, has welcomed the government’s decision to host Namibia’s 34th Independence celebrations at Katima Mulilo, Zambezi Region. 

The region, at the time known as the Caprivi Strip, was an important gateway to freedom, with many freedom fighters and refugees crossing into neighbouring Zambia through the area. 

While the Caprivi Strip was initially isolated, by the 1970s, more and more Namibians were crossing into exile through Caprivi. 

When a public figure, let alone a president, dies, documentaries that narrate their life story come in abundance.

The late Head of State, Dr. Hage Geingob, lived a humble life, yet this global figure had unpublished stories of humility, some of which were hidden from the public eye.

On Saturday, the nation went to sleep, oblivious to what they would awaken to, as the cock would crow at dawn. 

That was the heart-shattering news, delivered by then-Vice President Nangolo Mbumba.

The Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Sylvia Makgone, explained why Swapo Party MPs objected to McHenry Venaani's Private Members Bill to amend the Marine Resources Amendment Act of 2000.

The bill sought to further amend the Act from giving sole discretionary powers to the Minister to allocate quotas to the National Fishing Corporation.

The proposed amendment divided the House, with PDM parliamentarians waving placards in the house in favour of the motion.

Several MPs in the National Assembly have resisted its current format, the N$1 million motion tabled by Swapo MP Elifa Dingara.

Dingara tabled a motion proposing that every Namibian be given a million dollars to keep poverty at bay.

Some lawmakers called the motion unrealistic.

In his motivation, Dingara explained that the money does not need to come from the state's purse but from the country's abundant natural resources.
