German-speaking Namibians and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Foundation held a dialogue about the joint declaration between Namibia and Germany.

The aim of the dialogue was to exchange and share perspectives and outline their commitment to support reconciliation and reconstruction in the country.

The chairperson of the Forum of German-speaking Namibians, Harald Hecht, bemoaned the "lack of transparency and feedback" regarding the ongoing genocide negotiations between Germany and Namibia.

Hecht's remarks come amid continued negotiations surrounding the genocide of the Herero and Nama people.

The Chairperson of the Forum of German-speaking Namibians has called on Vice President of Namibia Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah to pick the right team, should she become the country's first female president.

The Forum for German-speaking Namibians says the late President Hage Geingob must be credited for his efforts to restore investor confidence.

The deployment of people in job positions based on other factors than merit is one of the factors hampering the process of sustainable development.
