Namibian Prime Minister Ngurare told government directors they must think differently about handling projects. He spoke to officials Wednesday, saying theories matter, but actions need practical focus. Bureaucratic nonsense needs to stop because citizens deserve proper services. People aren't asking for special treatment—just fair access to what the government provides. Everyone deserves equal treatment regardless of connections.
Ngurare attacked the practice of giving jobs to friends instead of qualified applicants. He mentioned reports about positions being filled before interviews happen. The Prime Minister heard stories about tender awards decided before committee meetings. He asked directors to help stop these problems throughout...
Trump slapped new tariffs on global trade partners, making Namibian economists super worried. He paused higher fees for some countries during ongoing talks. Experts say his aggressive policies hurt small economies like Namibia badly. The American president put a 125% tax on Chinese stuff that might cause a worldwide slowdown. Namibian exports currently face a 10% fee with discussions happening between both governments.
The 90-day break came after Americans complained about the new rules. Unless real talks happen soon, Namibia might struggle to sell diamonds and uranium abroad. This threatens jobs and investment opportunities promised to citizens. African trade deals letting countries export duty-free to America appear dead as Trump...
Trade fights between Europe and America keep changing fast. People worry about future problems despite the 90-day pause and lower taxes on European goods. The European Commission plans to fight back if talks fail, maybe taxing online ads. Germany wants everyone to move carefully regarding these plans. German finance leader Jörg Kukies explained that some products can easily come from different places, but others cannot.
France might target internet companies through taxes, according to finance chief Eric Lombard, who said everything remains possible. Ireland and Luxembourg hate this idea because many American tech firms operate there. The UK considers cutting digital taxes, hoping America will reduce import fees. Other countries stay...
China changed its chip rules giving Taiwan-made chips a free pass from heavy taxes. The Chinese Semiconductor Industry Association announced they'll check where chips actually come from before deciding on tariffs. Companies buying from places outside America can escape taxes as high as 125%. This helps firms keep making products inside China without supply worries. Tech giants like NVIDIA, AMD, plus Apple mostly use Taiwan-made chips for their electronics.
The policy makes life harder for American chip companies trying to sell worldwide. Chinese businesses might stop buying from US chipmakers like Intel just because of these extra costs. The rules focus only on where chips are physically made rather than which company designs them...
UK shoppers can find the RTX 5070 graphics card selling below its official price tag at Overclockers UK. The store lists Gainward's RTX 5070 Python III model for £519, which saves buyers £20 compared to what NVIDIA originally asked. This comes after similar price cuts happened at Walmart plus a Japanese store recently. These reductions remain rare but offer welcome relief for computer enthusiasts.
The 4% discount beats typical pricing since these cards usually cost around $700 in North America, plus similar amounts across Europe. Though sporting the same 2512 MHz boost clock as standard versions, the Gainward model includes three cooling fans for better temperature control. The £519 price equals about $668 including 20% tax, meaning...
