The government of South Sudan has launched the process for a new round of peace talks with the opposition coalition, which would be mediated by Kenya.

The launch took place at State House in Nairobi, witnessed by Presidents William Ruto, Namibia’s Nangolo Mbumba, Hakainde Hichilema of Zambia, and Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi.

Other stakeholders include the Chairperson of the AU Commission, Mousa Faki Mahamat, and regional bodies.

When a public figure, let alone a president, dies, documentaries that narrate their life story come in abundance.

The late Head of State, Dr. Hage Geingob, lived a humble life, yet this global figure had unpublished stories of humility, some of which were hidden from the public eye.

On Saturday, the nation went to sleep, oblivious to what they would awaken to, as the cock would crow at dawn. 

That was the heart-shattering news, delivered by then-Vice President Nangolo Mbumba.

The University of Namibia's Chancellor says the ratio between male and female graduates remains concerning and is a gap that needs to be closed.

Nangolo Mbumba was speaking at the UNAM Spring Graduation Ceremony in Windhoek.

In his address, UNAM Chancellor Nangolo Mbumba commended the university for constantly reviewing its curriculum.

He is, however, not impressed by the number of male graduates.

Developed nations have been called upon to fulfil their commitment to provide financial and technical assistance to African countries.

The call was made by Vice President Nangolo Mbumba at the Africa Climate Change Summit, underway in Nairobi, Kenya.

Mbumba says adequate funding is crucial to support adaptation and mitigation efforts, improve infrastructure resilience, and promote sustainable development.

The annual US-Africa Business Summit hopes to put a spotlight on value addition to Africa's natural resources.

The summit is expected to start on Tuesday in Botswana for four days under the theme 'Enhancing Africa's Value in Global Value Chains'.

More than a thousand U.S. and African private sector executives, international investors, senior government officials, and multilateral stakeholders are expected to converge in Gaborone for the summit.

The United Nations Resident Coordinator in Namibia, Hopolang Phororo, says the UN will continue to implement its partnership framework to align with Namibia's 6th National Development Plan.

This will particularly focus on economic transformation, social transformation, good governance, and environmental sustainability.

Phororo was speaking during a courtesy visit to Vice President Nangolo Mbumba.
