The Okandjoze Chiefs Assembly on Genocide has petitioned President Nangolo Mbumba to consider convening a National Consultative Conference to discuss the way forward for restorative justice.

Another subject is the possible enactment as an Act of Parliament, the Namibian Genocide.

The Assembly, comprising different Ovaherero and Ovambanderu traditional authorities, brought forward this position during a courtesy call on President Mbumba at State House.

President Nangolo Mbumba has once again hailed the democratic processes observed in Senegal as he congratulated President Bassirou Diomaye Faye on his election victory.

Faye emerged victorious in the first round of voting, garnering more than 54 percent of votes, and was sworn in this week.

President Mbumba held talks with Senegal's Ambassador to Namibia, Safiatiou Ndiaye, behind closed doors at State House today.

President Nangolo Mbumba has credited the late President Hage Geingob for the increased female representation in Parliament and the executive arm of government and for providing astute leadership at a time when the country needed it most.

Christian school-going children are urged to be obedient and disciplined, as taught through biblical teachings if they are to excel in their academic performance.

This call formed part of the back-to-school service held by the St. Andrews African Methodist Episcopal Church in Windhoek on Sunday.

The St. Andrews African Methodist Episcopal Church congregants dedicated the service to school-going children against the backdrop of the slight improvement observed in the 2023 results.

The President of the National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO) has called for mature discussions around issues facing the party and for unity.

Dr. Utjiua Muinjangue opened the party's national council meeting in Windhoek on Saturday.

The National Council is NUDO's second-highest decision-making body, and its meetings seek to iron out challenges facing the Party ahead of the elective congress.

The Office of the Prime Minister is expected to provide an update to the Cabinet on the drought relief programme next month.

This was confirmed by the Executive Director, I-Ben Nashandi, as Cabinet resumes in February.

The update to Cabinet would outline the progress and challenges in the implementation of the drought relief programme, barely four months after its roll-out.

The government initiated the programme late last year following a Livelihood Vulnerability Assessments and Analyses report that declared more than 600,000 households food insecure.

President Hage Geingob has cautioned against ill-discipline in the Namibian Defence Force (NDF), saying such incidents need to be addressed as soon as they occur.

''Discipline is the catalyst for professionalism. It is the soul of the Defence Force. I am informed that there are several cases of indiscipline being reported in the Namibian Defence Force. Some of these cases have appeared in the media. It is imperative that we summarily nip these type of incidences in the bud.''

Developing a new synthetic fuels industry in Namibia is not just an opportunity to fight climate change but indeed offers an unparalleled opportunity for green industrialization. This was President Hage Geingob's emphasis when he addressed the 78th session of the UN General Assembly in Geneva.

President Hage Geingob says the challenges facing the world today are not insurmountable, as they can be addressed with renewed commitment to multilateralism.

President Hage Geingob delivered Namibia's statement at the 78th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) at the UN Headquarters.

Any investor who would help the government alleviate unemployment among the youth and create industries in Namibia is welcome.

This was the central emphasis during a courtesy meeting between President Hage Geingob and Clemens Tönnies, a German businessman, and a delegation at State House.

The German-based Tönnies Holding company operates in the food industry around the world with eight divisions: pork and beef meat, sausages, ingredients, logistics, and others.
