Namibia has come a long way since the fight for democracy. For many Gen Xers, apartheid feels like it was just yesterday; for Millennials, the struggle exists somewhere between memory and myth. But for Gen Zers, colonial oppression is something they’ve only encountered in history books, stories, and songs. Yet, not having lived it, doesn’t mean they don’t understand its significance.

Imagine an organisation that creates a safe space for young women to not only dream big but actively prepares them for those big dreams? That’s the Purpose Mentorship Program Namibia, successfully making sure all the young women who pass through it are given the kind of princess treatment that every girl deserves.

We see names come and go in the world of local fashion and lifestyle brands, but one name is beginning to resonate with timeless elegance and enduring quality: The Fénr. Conceived and crafted with love and precision, this luxury jewellery brand is swiftly becoming a cherished name among those of us looking for gorgeous hypoallergenic, sweat-proof, water-friendly, and non-tarnish accessories. Let’s talk about it.
In a world that often celebrates individuality and diversity, one might assume that being different is universally encouraged. But in Namibia? Not so much. The reality is quite the opposite.

With heavy hearts, we stand alongside the nation in grieving the loss of our esteemed President, His Excellency Dr. Hage G. Geingob, who departed from us earlier this month. President Geingob, affectionately known as the people’s president, brought immense joy and humor wherever he appeared, whether on screen or at public events. His infectious laughter, warm gestures, and unwavering dedication to addressing social injustices have left an indelible mark on our hearts and memories. We will forever cherish his jokes, his compassionate contributions to societal causes, and the profound impact he made during his tenure. President Geingob’s legacy of leadership, compassion, and humor will be fondly remembered and celebrated for generations to come.
In this special feature we collaborated with Food Blogger and Entrepreneur, Sharon Neumbo, previously known as @foodfluencer_nam on Instagram to share some of our favourite Twitter moments of the President.

For those born on Namibian soil and others alike from neighbouring and foreign lands, Namibia is home. That’s it! If one were to go and ask a dozen strangers what Namibia is to them, more than half would tell you that Namibia is simply home.

A generation cut short, I am speaking of uncles, aunts and even elders whom are no longer in our presence because this generation was born into a system that saw them as less, the pigment that they possessed was a curse, if only they had straight hair, if maybe they turned red when their skin was kissed by the blazing African sun, maybe they would have been treated better.

It has been over almost two hours and we were still running back and forth with the discussion, we couldn’t quite seem to come to an agreement but little did we know that we were creating an audience. Opinionated people are known to be people who bring off their views as factual, most opinionated people have a vast knowledge on issues.

Being in control of our finances is something most of us struggle with irrespective how much we earn. Some of us would like to see things different but our lack of self-discipline keeps holding us in a dark hole where we constantly pray for the month to pass for the next payday.
