The Katutura Old Age Home became a hub of festive spirit as residents were treated to a special visit by the Namibia Diamond Trade Company and Diamond Manufacturer Association.

Representatives from the companies and the City of Windhoek spent quality time with the elderly, creating moments of joy, laughter, and profound wisdom.

The elders, some of whom might not have family to celebrate with, embraced the opportunity to dance, laugh, and share their invaluable insights.

Residents and visitors at Oshikango have expressed dismay at the lack of alternative roads to get around town, which makes traffic a nightmare.

The border town, like many others in northern Namibia, receives a high influx of holiday makers during the festive season, and this year was no exception.

Traffic congestion could be observed on the main road leading to the town center, leaving motorists frustrated.

Journalists may not belong at the top of the list, but they certainly are among the essential workers.

Many times, they spend family time and days away, but it is important to use this time of year to build relationships, according to Menesia Muinjo, the nbc's Chief of News and Programming, who also encouraged respect for family values.

They live for breaking news, scoops, deadlines, and remarkable stories.

Early mornings and late nights are a small price to pay for getting people the information they need—or even shaping the news cycle.

With the holiday season in full swing, animals are often left locked up with no one to take care of them.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) aims to protect and prevent cruelty to animals, and it is a safe haven for many homeless animals and an adoption centre.

There is a saying that goes: "A dog is man's best friend," which sometimes during the holiday season does not carry much value as animals are left unattended. Some would escape in search of food and company.

The holiday season is a period when many individuals become victims of crimes, but most occurrences may be prevented if people pay close attention to their surroundings and take proactive safeguards.

Erongo Police Regional Commander, Commissioner Nikolaus Kupembona said this during his festive season and crime prevention message. 

Kupembona said the festive season brings an increase in traveling, shopping, and socializing, therefore, it appears to be a peak period where crime rates escalate.
