Independent Patriots for Change MP Michael Mulunga has queried the Minister of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sports, Arts and Culture, Sanet Steenkamp, about the status of the National Youth Council, which he said had been without a substantive board for some time.

The National Youth Council (NYC) will sponsor two Miss Namibia 2025 finalists, Johanna Swartbooi and Alica Mokhatu, who both represent Okahandja.

The sponsorship came about after the contestants approached Okahandja Mayor Beatrice Katungondo, who referred them to NYC.
