The Deputy Minister of Information, Communication, and Technology, Emma Theofilus, has urged Namibians to prioritise social cohesion as a crucial goal.

Theofilus made these remarks during the official opening of the 7th edition of the annual Oranjemund Diamond Festival and Career Fair.

The annual Diamond Festival is a platform for businesses to showcase their services and products and, at the same time, engage investors.

This year's festival is being held under the theme 'Creating a sustainable future through economic diversification'. 

The first-ever edition of the San Cultural Festival is on the cards.

The San community gathered at Otjiwarongo to plan for the November event in Tsumeb, which seeks to foster unity.

The festival looks to revive the San people's culture, traditions, and heritage, which are slowly disappearing in some quarters.

Although there are different subgroups, Chief Ananias Soroseb of the Kai !kha khoen Traditional Authority encouraged the community to use every opportunity to engage.

The Information and Communication Rights in Africa conference is currently underway in Windhoek, Namibia.

The regional conference seeks to contribute to ongoing efforts towards combating the major challenges affecting digital rights, access to information, freedom of expression, and media in Africa.

It will also touch on human rights and the digital transformation of media.

The conference will also deepen comprehensive access to information, promote digital rights and inclusion, and promote the public information commons.

Crop farmers are making sure they keep themselves up-to-date with information to enhance the agricultural industry, considered key to food security.

A group of commercial and communal farmers met at Farm Okounduve in the Okorukambe Constituency of the Omaheke Region, over the weekend.

The seminar brought together various industry experts to share new techniques and information with farmers.

Given Namibia's current weather patterns, farmers are especially concerned with saving water while ensuring that crops still offer expected yields.
