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.

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.

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.
On February 8, 2025, in Windhoek, His Excellency Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma concluded his 95-year earthly journey.
A humble young man, he grew up under the guidance of his family and community, attending to traditional chores like tending livestock and pounding mahangu at Etunda, Ongandjera. It has been said that while he was a child like any other, he soon began to showcase unique and extraordinary leadership from an early age. This prodigiousness, 95 years later, has touched the four corners of Namibia, Africa, and the world.
First National Bank of Namibia (FNB) has put emphasis on the importance of drafting a will stating that it transcends mere asset management and is a cornerstone of legacy preservation, family security, and ensuring lifelong intentions endure. Yet, even visionary professionals often delay this critical step.
