The United Democratic Front Youth League (UDFYL) has elected Reinhold Goseb as its new Secretary General at the 2nd elective congress for the youth wing in 15 years.

The elective congress in Swakopmund was a crucial event for one of Namibia's oldest political parties.

Although the United Democratic Front is 35 years old, the party's youth league has been dormant since holding its first congress in 2009.

An interim committee was established in 2018, and outgoing Secretary General Michael Skini ran the youth leagues' affairs.

Economic empowerment is crucial for women's advancement.

Therefore, the Secretary General of the UDF Women Council, Dankie Mukuta, urged women to create an enabling environment to thrive in the workforce by promoting equal pay, providing access to credit and resources, and supporting women entrepreneurs.

By doing so, Mukuta says, they not only uplift individual women but also contribute to the economic growth and prosperity of the nation.

The United Democratic Front (UDF) President and MP, Apius !Auchab, is dismayed at traditional authorities in the Daures Constituency for failing to turn up for a consultative meeting this week regarding mining activities in the area.

In his disappointment, !Auchab is now suggesting that the government stop giving allowances to non-active traditional leaders.
