Their home form tells a different story, as they turned Green Fuel Arena into an almost unbeatable venue.
The team currently sits fifth on the league table with eight points, trailing leaders Ngezi Platinum by five. They played three home games with one win plus two draws, collecting five points at home compared to just three...

Namibian superstar Shishani recently performed for Dutch royalty, calling it a chance of a lifetime to share her story and messages with them.

Shishani mentioned how significant it felt to perform at the King's Day concert during harsh political times across Europe. She believes music works as a powerful messenger that drives change through diversity and inclusion. This major platform shows her growth as an artist from humble beginnings. She started...
Former Namibia Wildlife Resorts boss Zelna Hengari lashed out at The Namibian newspaper after they asked about corruption claims. She fired back with a harsh "voetsek, idiot" response when questioned about allegedly giving a tender to her husband Mac Hengari. The newspaper wanted her reaction to rumors about an Anti-Corruption Commission investigation involving both her plus her spouse.
ACC deputy director-general Erna van der Merwe told reporters they had already looked into these accusations thoroughly. She confirmed the case was closed last year because investigators found nothing linking Mac Hengari directly to any tender awards. The probe examined claims that Zelna might have awarded contracts to companies that later passed work...
Justice Minister Wise Immanuel gave major props to the Social Security Commission for jumping on the artificial intelligence bandwagon. He shared these thoughts at their fancy stakeholder dinner Thursday evening. The minister pointed out how few government groups actually embrace new tech like SSC does. Thanks to their AI moves, they slashed both development fund debt loads. Their investment returns skyrocketed to N$605 million, sailing past what they aimed for.
The minister highlighted how the SSC Development Fund has created almost 2,000 lasting jobs across Namibia since its start. He stressed that employers, unions, government officials, and development partners must team up. They need to make investments that build up Namibia's...
James Sankwasa, minister of urban and rural development, has finally approved Gilbert Mutwa as the new Masubia chief. He sent a letter to senior headman Albius Kamwi saying they accepted the application after much consideration. The minister praised everyone for staying united during this leadership change. He wants the official ceremony to happen before May ends at a place the traditional authority picks.
Gilbert Mutwa faced off against Trevor Maiba for the important position. Mutwa comes from royal blood as the oldest son of former chief Josiah Moraliswani II, who passed away in 1996. His competitor, Trevor Maiba, is the son of Kisco Moraliswani III, who died in July 2021. The decision arrived amid growing frustration from divided...
Chinese bigwig Xi Jinping finally broke his silence about the trade fight with America, saying China isn't scared of anyone. Beijing just cranked up tariffs on US stuff to 125% after Trump jacked up taxes on Chinese goods to 145%. The Chinese say they won't go higher because it would be pointless. They called America's tariff game a joke that only hurts everyone involved. Global markets have tanked as the planet's two biggest economies keep throwing punches at each other.
Xi told Spain's leader that China built itself through hard work, not handouts, for over 70 years. He stayed quiet about the trade battle until recently but came out swinging with tough talk. He promised China would stay focused on handling its business no matter what...
Heavy rains hammered Sikanduko Junior Primary School this Wednesday, leaving classrooms flooded, books ruined, and walkways washed away. School officials had to move little ones outside for lessons after water damaged their pre-primary rooms. The acting head teacher reported that both the school board chief and local headwoman saw firsthand how badly the learning materials were destroyed.
The school faces major problems beyond just rain damage. More than a thousand pupils must share only two toilets, which fill up almost immediately every day. Kids end up using dangerous pit latrines despite the wet weather. The buildings offer almost no protection against extreme temperatures, making education nearly impossible during hot or cold...
