The Swapo Party celebrated its 66th anniversary on 19 April, commemorating over six decades of leadership in Namibia’s liberation struggle and nation-building efforts.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has wished all Namibians a peaceful Easter period of reflection and renewal. 

She said the Easter weekend holds deep spiritual significance and reminds Christians of sacrifice, compassion, forgiveness, and the triumph of hope over despair.

TransNamib, Chief Executive Officer Desmond van Jaarsveld said the company's emergency response team, together with regional medical services and the police, continues to provide ongoing support to survivors and attending to anyone requiring medical assistance.

The NAMCOR Board of Directors has appointed the Executive Upstream Development and Production, Mtundeni Ndafyaalako as Acting Managing Director effective from today after the conclusion of the ongoing recruitment process for a substantive Managing Director.

The Bank of Namibia has announced that it will maintain the repo rate at 6.50%.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah described the late Kanana Hishoono as the bravest, most selfless person and a veteran of the liberation struggle.

She said Hishoono contributed immensely to consolidating the gains of independence and democracy, serving in various capacities.

Namibia has urged respect for international law and Venezuela's sovereignty following the capture of that country's president, Nikolas Maduro, and his wife by the US.

The Affirmative Repositioning (AR) Party has noted with grave concern the "unwarranted US aggression against Venezuela and its people".

AR calls on all progressive nations, parties, and organisations to fearlessly denounce the US's heinous acts and demand the release of President Maduro and his wife.

The Ondonga Traditional Authority says it will work closely with the government and relevant law enforcement agencies to ensure that justice is pursued and that effective measures are put in place to protect all Community Court Justices and Traditional Leaders.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, on behalf of the Namibian government and her family, extended wishes for warmth, love, and togetherness to embrace families across Namibia.

Today marks Family Day, also known as the Day of Goodwill, highlighting the importance of family unity and quality time together.
