Namibia will have a new official opposition party in the National Assembly by the end of next week.

National Assembly Spokesperson Sakeus Kadhikwa has reaffirmed Parliament's commitment to enhancing public engagement and transparency in the legislative process. 

Namibia has attained a 50-50 gender balance in the National Assembly, the spokesman of the lower house of parliament, Sakeus Kadhikwa, confirmed. 

Kadhikwa marked the achievement as a milestone, as Namibia is the only country so far in Africa that has reached gender balance in parliament.

The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security is advising mothers who have not registered the birth of their children to do so, even in the absence of the fathers.
