Launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, Clubhouse is a new audio social media platform that has captured the attention of young people around the world. To gain access to what some dub as the new ‘exclusive’ platform, you need an invite from someone who is already on Clubhouse. When you sign up, you have options of joining the different rooms available. Once you join a room, you will be notified when different discussions take place. On Clubhouse there is a stage and participants can join the stage to contribute in the topic being discussed or they can stay in the background and listen. The most popular house for Namibians is called the ‘the Namibia House’ founded by technology researcher, Tutaleni Asino. For Asino, audio is one of the most natural and oldest forms of communication. “When I founded the house club, the goal was not for political engagement. The goal was for us Namibians to take up space on a new platform and for everyday people to engage” said Asino. However, over the past weeks, political engagements have dominated the chat room. Guests have included; Barney Harmse, CEO of Paratus who spoke about the Equiano undersea cable, Nangula Uaandja, CEO of newly established NIPDB and ‎Presidential Advisor for Youth Matters and Enterprise Development, Daisry Mathias. Asino added that Clubhouse is changing political engagements, as it has provided everyday persons direct access to those in political and economic positions as they can ask questions directly rather than have them mediated by others. The ‘by invite’ application is currently only available to iPhone users and has received criticism for its lack of inclusivity, with some arguing that the platform caters for the elite. Clubhouse has announced that they are working on an android version, however, according to them, this might take months. “I can’t speak for Clubhouse but for me, this is normal because when you develop a software you often pick the platform to develop on and then scale up later,” said Asino. Though Clubhouse currently excludes android users whose mobile phones are said to be more affordable in the global south, Asino is confident that such a network can bridge the information gap. According to him, it is liberating to have space where anyone can start a conversation about any topic whether it is related to language, race, gender or sexual orientation.
