No group can claim professional standing without explicit statements about what constitutes competence in that field and the means by which competence can be obtained and assessed ~ McCleary, 1973
Having an “NA” below the flag on the yellow and private number plates makes the “N” prefixing the numbers redundant, doesn’t it? Don’t they both stand for #Namibia?
Works and transport minister Veikko Nekundi says Namibia will soon introduce new vehicle number plates with enhanced security features to curb fraud, vehicle theft and the manipulation of registration details.

Reporter: Didn’t you have concern about your personal safety as you attempted to save the babies?
Cornelius: Well, my thought was, I would rather drown with them. I felt sorry for them drowning, their legs kicking out in the water.
A 16-year-old boy has been commended for his swift actions after rescuing twin babies who were thrown into a pond by their mother in Omutundungu village, located in the Omusati Region.
Cornelius Shimwaafeni, a learner at Nicodemus Primary School, was herding livestock near the pond when he witnessed the incident.
Shimwaafeni said he could not stand by and watch the 9-month-old twins drown.
He narrated that he rushed to the pond and pulled both children from the water, and administered CPR before rushing them to the elders at nearby cuca shops for help.
Shimwaafeni’s actions have garnered admiration from both family and community members, with many hailing him as a hero for intervening to save the lives of the twins.
The twins have been discharged from the hospital and are now in the care of their 47-year-old father, while their mother remains in custody facing two counts of attempted murder.
Shimwaafeni expressed his eagerness to recount his heroic actions when school resumes, and his classmates inquire about their holiday experiences.

The government officially inaugurated a new computer laboratory in Uis, Erongo Region, to bridge the digital divide and expand access to quality education.
Education Minister Sanet Steenkamp says the facility marks a crucial step in ensuring that no Namibian child is left behind in an increasingly digital world.
The lab, established at Petrus !Ganeb Secondary School was made possible through a donation by the Swakop Uranium Foundation, which provides 20 computers, a printer and network equipment valued at N$347,000.
Steenkamp highlighted that access to digital tools is no longer a luxury but a necessity, particularly for learners in rural and underserved communities.
She said the initiative forms part of the government’s broader push to modernise education and strengthen digital learning across the country.

Using the PEST (Political, Economic, Social, Technological) framework, fair to conclude that industries to suffer the #StraitofHormuz standoff are tourism due to high costs of international travel. Consumer markets to suffer from high commodity prices and inflation. Who wins?
