Nampu cheers all media staff on International Workers Day. The union sees press teams facing hard times across Namibia. Workers deal with small pay, mean managers, mental stress, short contracts. Most stay quiet about problems from fear.
Jemima Beukes leads the union effort for better treatment. She claims no job counts as good work if it hurts your brain. Workers deserve respect rather than silent pain. The group wants official help to fix these issues fast. Media houses need fair wages, steady jobs, safe offices, and mental care programs.
The union asks every press worker to team up with others for protection. People who stand alone face trouble, but groups find strength. Their work brings truth to light each day. Their minds need...
Namibian labor groups want people to see Workers Day as more than just a holiday. The Nurses Union and Trade Union Congress spoke through their leader, Junias Shilunga, at a Lüderitz event. He stressed that making things should create many jobs rather than profits for a few wealthy people. Trade must help local workers and businesses instead of just foreign companies. Good working conditions need to become central to how the country grows.
Shilunga pointed to fishing as an important business that often fails to properly protect its workers. He said safe jobs with fair pay in fishing should be standard for everyone. The union leader called on young Namibians to join the fight for better work rules. He encouraged them to become union...
Businessman Ben Hauwanga wants Ongwediva resident Potgieter Vilho to pay N$500,000 for harmful statements. Hauwanga claims Vilho shared false audio recordings about him on social media last year. These recordings painted Hauwanga as dishonest, corrupt, and someone who grabs land. The case stems from messages spread through WhatsApp groups.
Court papers say Vilho accused Hauwanga of using money owed to him for political campaigns against government leaders. Hauwanga believes these comments hurt his dignity and damaged his public image. He asks the court to declare the remarks false and make Vilho take back what he said with an apology. Vilho plans to fight these claims in court. The case returns to the Windhoek High Court on June 25.
People across the country refuse to help with community projects unless they receive money. Gender Minister Jean Sendeza worries that this comes from wrong ideas about democracy and human rights. Many citizens expect payment for work that helps their neighborhoods. This dependency makes it hard to improve areas at the local level. The government wants to change these attitudes.
The ministry created Community Development Month for May 2025. This program aims to bring people together for self-help projects. Communities will build structures, learn skills, and grow their abilities without payment. Public spirit declined after the multi-party government started. Roads, bridges, schools, and land management suffer because people want cash...

Finance officials blame technical problems at commercial banks for the holdup. The Treasury Secretary, Dr. Betchani Tchereni, claims all salaries were processed between April 24 and 30.

President Chakwera scolded greedy traders for hiking prices to make extra cash. He said these actions hurt government plans to improve workers' lives.

About 35 percent of all Expedition 33 players jumped into Oblivion as well. Kepler Interactive manager Matt Handrahan explained that the releases brought attention to quality RPGs during that...
