THE CORRUPT WARNING THE DECEITFUL AGENTS IN THE SWAPO PARTY

The SWAPO Party-led government has never, ever been about serving the Namibian people. I mean, let’s be real here, how on earth could Meekulu President, Netumbo Nandi-Ndeitua come out and boldly declare that she will not deal with the corruption cases from the past? Oh, I get it. Why bother cleaning up the mess when you’re too busy enjoying the fruits of it, right?

Meekulu President is essentially telling us, "If you missed out on your golden opportunity to cash in on the corruption of the SWAPO-led government over the last 35 years, well… tough luck! That’s your problem, not ours!" Period. So, just to make sure we’re all on the same page here, forget about all the following (and many more that probably didn’t even make it to the list):

FishCor / Fishrot N$4B – because why worry about the fishing industry when you’ve already hooked yourself a N$4 billion payout?

GIPF N$600M – who doesn’t love a good pension fund scandal to spice up a career in government?

SME Bank N$200M – Small businesses? Who needs ‘em when there’s a much more profitable venture in mismanagement?

August 26 Company N$34M – a little pocket change here and there, right? Not like it’s anyone’s money or anything…

Kora Music Awards N$23M – I mean, who wouldn’t want a piece of that sweet, sweet Kora Award money? Who’s counting?

Social Security Commission (SSC) N$30M – because securing the future of workers is clearly overrated when there’s personal enrichment on the table.

NDC N$100M – National Development? Or National Depletion? You decide.

NamCor N$100M – Why worry about Namibia’s energy sector when a cool hundred mil is just sitting there, ripe for the picking?

Clandestine Payments to UK Lawyers on Genocide Case N$46M – Forget justice, just keep paying those lawyers, and maybe someone will forget the whole genocide thing.

Police Inspector General’s "capable" homicide case (Joseph Shikongo) – I mean, who’s in charge of that case again? Oh right, let’s just sweep that under the rug and pretend it doesn’t matter.

NamDia N$430M – Why care about diamonds when you’ve already got a nice little N$430 million nest egg on the side?

Inflated cost of building the Oil-Storage Facility – I guess building things properly isn’t nearly as lucrative as inflating costs for personal gain.

Inflated cost of building the Nektral Dam – Another day, another over-inflated price tag. So much for being transparent about public spending.

And don’t even get me started on the Green Schemes across the country because, honestly, who’s really concerned about environmental sustainability when the green they’re talking about is lining their own pockets?

But hey, let’s not get too bogged down in the details. Why bother with transparency or accountability when you can simply ignore the problem and keep plodding along, making the same mistakes over and over again. After all, why should anyone be held accountable when corruption is practically the national pastime?

So, there you have it. Meekulu President, in all her wisdom, has spoken. All the corruption cases we’ve heard about for decades? Yeah, they’re all in the past. So, if you missed your chance to benefit from it, well, maybe try harder next time. The rest of us will just sit back, relax, and pretend this isn't the biggest scam in our country’s history. Isn’t governance just a beautiful thing?

GRADUATED BUT BLOCKED: NAMIBIA’S NEW NURSING EVALUATION FAILING FUTURE HEALTHCARE HEROES

In what should be a moment of triumph and relief for newly completed nursing students in Namibia, many are instead facing distress, uncertainty, and financial strain. The Nursing Council of Namibia (NCN) has introduced a new policy that requires student nurses, who have already completed their academic and clinical training, to undergo additional oral and written evaluations before they can graduate. While the intention may be to uphold professional standards, the reality on the ground tells a much more troubling story. A Policy of Double Standards One of the most glaring issues with this new policy is its selective application. Only newly completed student nurses are being subjected to this extra evaluation, while previously qualified nurses continue to practice without undergoing the same process. This creates an unfair and discriminatory standard. If the aim is truly to protect public health, shouldn’t all practicing nurses be held to the same level of scrutiny? The inconsistency is...

NAMIBIA’S NEW PRESIDENT: NETUMBO NANDI-NDAITWAH—THE ULTIMATE SCRIPTWRITER IN THIS POLITICAL COMEDY

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the grand Namibian political theatre, where our newly elected president, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, has taken center stage with her bold and radical plans—cue the drumroll—for massive job creation! Yes, you heard that right. Our dear leader has promised the youths of Namibia employment, and the only question that remains is: How? Where? And in which economic sector exactly? Or are we supposed to just sit back, trust the process, and hope jobs magically rain down like manna from heaven?   Now, let’s move to the real comedy gold—her latest blockbuster announcement: Free education… but only in 2029! Yes, because, of course, the best way to help struggling students today is by telling them, "Just hang in there for another four years; free education is on the way!" Genius, isn’t it? Why can’t these changes be implemented immediately when she takes office on March 21, 2025? Oh, wait—I forgot. Politicians have mastered the art of long-term promises with...

POLITICAL INTERFERENCE OR PURE RESISTANCE? THE ONGOING TENSION BETWEEN IUM AND THE SWAPO GOVERNMENT

Namibia—the land where visionaries build, and politicians plot. In this latest episode of “Who Wants to Control a Private University?,” we find the SWAPO government and Dr. David Namwandi, the founder of IUM, caught in a classic “cat and dog” relationship. And let’s be honest—it’s getting old.   Dr. Namwandi, a man who once graced Parliament under the SWAPO banner, has long since washed his hands of politics. But somehow, the drama never left him. After his term ended, he focused on what actually matters—education. Yet, for reasons known only to those in high offices, the government just can’t seem to let him or IUM breathe.   The ‘Generous’ Offer: Give Us 50% of Your University Here’s a fun fact: a while back, the SWAPO government reportedly wanted a 50% stake in IUM. Yes, you read that right. Half of a private institution, just handed over—because why not? Maybe they thought Dr. Namwandi would be so overwhelmed with gratitude that he’d sign over his life’s work wit...
