The Okandjoze Chiefs Assembly on Genocide has urged representatives of the Federal Republic of Germany, who will be attending the funeral of Namibia’s founding president, Sam Nujoma, to observe the decorum and solemnity of a nation in mourning.
The Chiefs Assembly further warned the German delegates “not to usurp our national mourning with their inopportune, insensitive, and distasteful propaganda regarding the Joint Declaration (JD) and the negotiations that led to its drafting and conclusion in May 2021.”

Political commentator Natjirikasorua Tjirera has urged Namibians to celebrate the life and times of departed statesman and hero of the Namibian liberation struggle, Sam Nujoma,without equating him to celestial beings with unmatched super powers.

Namibian Ambassador to France, Spain, UNESCO and UN Tourism, Albertus Aochamub, says Africa is looking for trade and not aid.
In his keynote address under the theme, “The True Value of Africa’s Success,” which he delivered at Meetings Africa 2025, he underscored the continent’s economic potential. 
“Africa is no longer a distant promise; it is here, bold, ambitious, and unstoppable,” he declared, setting the tone for a powerful message.

Founding Father Sam Nujoma, shortly before his passing, warned that “imperialist” forces sought to remove former liberation movements from power, urging the Swapo-Party to remain vigilant and unified, Secretary General Sophia Shaningwa revealed.
Shaningwa stated that during a meeting five months prior, Nujoma cautioned against these forces, emphasizing the need for a strong, united front to protect the party.

The biggest corruption scandal in Mozambique’s history happened before Filipe Nyusi became president.
Nonetheless, he benefited.
The “tuna bond” scandal, a scam concocted by Swiss bankers, ruling elites and a handful of dubious middlemen, diverted billions of dollars intended for development into the pockets of individuals. 
Bribed Mozambican individuals got at least $200 million from it. 
Nyusi’s cut was around $1 million, which he received as “campaign donations”, according to court documents in both the UK and US. 

The Namibian government has disbursed N$89.2 million of the N$365 million allocated to subsidise electricity tariffs for the 2024/2025 financial year, an official has revealed.
