The panellists at the Nathaniel Maxuilili Public Lecture discussed how the late liberation struggle hero, Nathaniel Maxuilili, would have been shocked to hear about people getting burned in shack fires if he were still alive.

Panellist Ruusa Shipiki mentioned that Maxuilili would have been disappointed with the ghettos and the migration of working-class people to Walvis Bay, leading to poverty and unemployment.

She emphasised the need to address these issues and find productive ways to embrace the 71.1 percent of Namibia's population that is under 35.

The world's largest floating book fair, Logos Hope, is ready to host thousands of visitors as she docks at Walvis Bay harbor this afternoon for a three-week visit.

Erongo Governor Neville Andre and the Logos Hope advance preparation team held a media conference to announce the vessel's program.

The floating book fair will only be open to the public from July 5th to 21st.

Andre says his office has engaged various sectors, including education, business, and churches, to get involved.
