A study carried out by the University of Namibia (UNAM) indicates that money matters and the desire to get rich is one of the factors that stands in the way of a boy child excelling in education.

This information was shared during the university's graduation ceremony at Rundu.

Of the 4,455 UNAM graduates, only 32% are male, while women make up 68%. 
 
Unam's Vice Chancellor says for the past seven years, women have been dominating university graduations nationally.

Two male suspects accused of stealing N$50,000 from a tourist at Camp Kwando over the weekend were denied bail in the Katima Mulilo Margistrate's court on Thursday.

The two are 31-year-old Mario Wawo and 25-year-old Masiye Muyunza, who are from the Lizauli area.

They were transferred from the Menias Brian Libuto police station in Kongola to Katima Mulilo, where they appeared before Margistrate Sinyama Sibalatani.

There is a need to improve the proportion of male entrants to the country's universities.
 
Vice President Nangolo Mbumba, who is also Chancellor of the University of Namibia (UNAM), said this at the UNAM Southern Campus' 2023 graduation ceremony, held at Keetmanshoop.

240 students received certificates, diplomas, and degrees in the fields of health, geosciences, education, commerce, and law during the Unam Southern Campus graduation ceremony.
