Hundreds of Namibians domiciled in Zambia thronged the High Commission in Lusaka for the belated Independence celebrations.

The event was organised by the Namibian High Commission in Zambia.

These are Namibians who are in Zambia for various reasons other than business and education.

High Commissioner to Zambia Gomes Menette has urged Vision Bridge Educational Advisory to help Namibian students studying in Zambia. 

The institution deals with the affairs of international students in the SADC region.

The Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) has closed down four radio stations for interfering with aircraft communication and navigation systems. 

This follows a comprehensive assessment conducted in conjunction with the Zambia Civil Aviation Authority (ZCAA).

Zambia has recorded an accumulative total of 1,307 cholera cases, with the death toll now standing at 21.

However, the outbreak reported in August last year does not affect border areas with Namibia.

Of the 1,307 cases, 1,270 have successfully recovered.

Namibia and Zambia are accelerating efforts to operationalise the One-Stop Border Post at Katima Mulilo. 

The project aims to boost trade, reduce delays, and strengthen regional integration between the two countries.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah says Namibia does not forget countries and movements that supported Namibia's liberation struggle.

She emphasised that the country's independence was built on global solidarity. 

It is still uncertain when the remains of Zambia's former president, Edgar Lungu, will be buried.
Lungu died nine months ago, and the burial process has been delayed due to court battles between the family and the government.

Namibia, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo have renewed their commitment to strengthen trade and transport links through the Walvis Bay-Ndola-Lubumbashi Corridor.

Namibia's High Commissioner to Zambia, Goms Menette, says the influx of students studying in Zambia demonstrates the historical friendship that exists between the two sister countries. 

Namibian students in Zambia have raised concerns over the high study permit fees they are required to pay to pursue their education in the country.
