Namibian international and University of Johannesburg (UJ) netball star, Cornelia Mupenda, will join one of the elite six teams competing in the Deloitte Netball Super League 2025 in Singapore.
Mupenda, a renowned defender known for her impressive height and athleticism, has been a key player for the UJ Senior Women’s Netball Team in recent years. Her contributions have been instrumental in the team’s success, including their historic first-ever semi-final appearance in the Varsity Netball tournament, and the subsequent two consecutive finals.

The country’s U-17 girls’ team faced a tough challenge against Uganda’s U-17 side last month, losing 18-1 on aggregate in the 2025 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Despite the heavy defeat, defender Shiwaovanhu Haukongo showed bravery and courage for the Namibian team.
Haukongo, a 16-year-old attacker for FNB Women Super League (WSL) side Eleven Arrows, scored Namibia’s only goal across the two legs. This goal came in the second leg, which Uganda won 8-1.

For many young mothers across Namibia, the reality of childbirth extends beyond the joy of a newborn, encompassing the lasting physical and emotional impact of Cesarean sections (C-sections). This major abdominal surgery, involving incisions through seven layers of tissue, is often a necessary intervention, yet it leaves mothers facing a demanding recovery while simultaneously caring for a new life.

As women continue to break stereotypes and pave the way for future generations in traditionally male-dominated industries, Dr. Adell Samuelson’s journey to becoming Namibia’s first General Manager with Puma Africa stands as an inspiring testament to women’s capability to lead and excel in the corporate world.

In a daring leap of faith, Glowney Naris, who once thrived as a Portfolio Administrator at Momentum Metropolitan Namibia, traded her stable job to satisfy a burning passion for transforming spaces into stories through her décor and events management company, Shekinah Events.
The company, which quickly became tantamount to elegant sophistication and stylish classiness, caters for special occasions of any magnitude including weddings, corporate events, bridal and baby showers and birthdays.

It is not every day that one gets to wake up to the sounds of sirens and the sight of a presidential motorcade driving into your street, in the heart of Katutura, everyday. Or being subjected to a curfew of not moving up and down your street after 22h00.
But in the early 90s, this was the norm for those who lived around Okaramba Street, in Wanaheda, Katutura. This, because they were living in close proximity to the most revered man in the country at that time - the late Founding President, Sam Nujoma.

The first drama series in the Otjiherero/Mbanderu language, Kandu ka Tandaa, recently hit the airwaves on Botswana Television (BTV1) and has proven to be an instant hit among viewers. It has also captivated Namibian viewers who are demanding for it to air on the national broadcaster, Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC).

The most eminent and most qualified have eloquently spoken, notably, Dr. Hifikepunye Pohamba and former  Minister Ben Amadhila. These tributes led me to have cold feet as I thought to myself “what is there to say still?”  I braved up, for everyone’s contact with Sam Nujoma has its own experience and hence, its own story.
