The corona virus pandemic will, in the short to medium-term at least, severely affect economic performance and put significant strain on Namibia’s public finances which were already in poor shape. Efforts to get the economy through the immediate crisis will take precedence over efforts at reform. Namibia went into the global financial crisis in a relatively strong position from a fiscal and monetary point of view. This time is very different. New Cabinet Appointed On 16 March President Geingob announced a new government structure and on 22 March announced his new Cabinet and related appointments. The two Cabinets and appointments are summarised below taking into account the resignations of Bernhard Esau and Sacky Shangala over Fishrot and Katrina Hanse-Hamarwa over corruption in 2019.

  • Transitions in Namibia Which Changes for Whom?
    Transitions in Namibia Which Changes for Whom? Edited by Henning Melber NORDISKA AFRIKAINSTITUTET, UPPSALA 2007 Cover: The restored steam tractor outside the coastal town of Swakop- mund was made in Germany and brought to the country in 1896. It should replace ox wagons as a means of transport in the further colonization of Namibia’s interior. The 2.8 tons heavy machine in need of lots of water never managed it through the sands of the Namib desert. The local colonizers named it after the German reformer Martin Luther, who in 1521 had declared: “Here I stand – may God help me. I can not otherwise.” Today a national monument and put behind glass, Namibia’s “Martin Luther” remains an early symbol for the failure of grand visions.

Finally, the study carries out a democratic audit of Namibia using Swedish normative tools. 1 Acknowledgements The last few years have been tumultuous but exciting. Now, the academic atmosphere that provided a valuable anchor, too, must be hauled up for journeys beyond. The end of this most enjoyable academic challenge has arrived, but I cannot look back without a sense of loss - loss of continuous joys of discovery and academic enrichment. I would like to thank my supervisor, Lionel Cliffe, for his incredible support. In addition to going through many drafts and making valuable suggestions, Lionel helped me endure this long journey with his sustained encouragement. I also thank Ray Bush for going through many drafts and making valuable comments. He has an uncanny ability to visualize the final outcome of research effort.

  • National Assembly Performance
    Institute for Public Policy Research Not Speaking Out: Measuring National Assembly Performance By Ellison Tjirera and Graham Hopwood IPPR Comment No. 4 September 2009 This paper analyses the amount of contributions that members of the National Assembly made to parliamentary debate from September 2005 to October 2007 as one indicator of parliamentary performance. Although it has been speculated that some members of the National Assembly contribute very little to debates on bills and motions, as far as the IPPR is aware no research since independence has actually sought to quantify how much MPs contribute to debates in the House. The principal measure used for this research paper was the number of lines each MP contributed to debate in the Hansard – the official record of parliament. Originally, the IPPR had hoped to examine Hansard from the inception of the current parliament in 2005 until mid-2009. However, this has proved impossible because Hansard is not available from October 2007 onwards since editions have not been published since then. For this reason this analysis is based on a two-year period from September 2005 to early October 2007, which was felt to be a long enough period to make an assessment of how much MPs contributed to debate. The methodology used by this research paper is restricted solely to the amount of lines that MPs have contributed to the official record of parliamentary proceedings. No attempt is made to assess the quality of those contributions as this would involve highly subjective value judgements. This paper also does not attempt to assess how MPs may contribute to other aspects of parliamentary life, for example the committee system.

    VOTE 19: MINISTRY OF INDUSTRIALIZATION, TRADE & SME DEVELOPMENT BUDGET SPEECH BY HON. IMMANUEL NGATJIZEKO, MP MINISTER OF INDUSTRIALIZATION, TRADE AND SME DEVELOPMENT NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, 31 March 2016 Page 1 of12 Honorable Chairperson of the Whole House Committee Honourable Members of this August House I am humbled at the opportunity to present to this August House, the estimates of expenditure for Vote 19: Ministry of Industrialisation, Trade & SME Development for the Financial Year 2016/17. As we all aware, 2016 has been declared by the Highest Office in our Republic as the year of Implementation of Government Programmes and Projects in order to make a positive impact on the scourges of poverty and unemployment. My Ministry, through the Growth at Home Strategy is intent on implementing a number of projects in order to accelerate sustainable economic growth. We will continue to initiate and support projects aimed at value addition to meaningfully change the skewed structure of our economy from concentration on export of raw products to the production and export of finished products. Our intervention will be centred on three pillars namely; • Initiation and support for value addition and upgrading of our factories; • support for our products to access external market so that Namibian products are competitive; and • Creating favourable investment and business climate locally. During the financial year 2015/2016, the world over experienced economic distress. Several factors have contributed to this outcome. Economic growth in the developing and emerging market economies, which made up 70 percent of total worldwide growth in recent years, experienced a slowdown for the fifth consecutive year.

  • Onetouch 4.0 Sanned Documents
    Confidential NAMIBIAN REVIEW: MARCH 2005 Confidential A BRIEF POLITICAL OVERVIEW AND CURRENT ASSESSMENT OF DIAMOND DEVELOPMENTS IN NAMIBIA 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recent elections in Namibia saw the ruling South West African Peoples Organisation (Swapo) swept back into power with the same number of seats as the previous election in 1999. With the new presidential candidate Hifikepunye Lukas Pohamba only being inaugurated on 24 March, continuity of policy on all levels is more or less expected, given the fact that Pohamba was hand-chosen by outgoing president Sam Nujoma to replace him. Potential rivals for the Swapo presidency were dealt with in the months leading up to the elections. This included specifically Hidipo Hamutenya, once one of Swapo's favourite sons, who was unceremoniously dumped as foreign minister by Nujoma in May 2004 just days before the Swapo Congress to choose Nujoma's successor. Though defeated, Hamutenya's background and support base in amongst people _ who were part of Swapo's Peoples Uberation Army of Namibia (Plan), will ensure that he emerges once again as Pohamba's chief challenger for the position in five years time. The opposition remains weak and in general disarray with the once powerful Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA) , having lost nearly half the parliamentary seats it had prior to the last elections. As far as developments on the diamond front are concerned the report makes the following broad points: • Continuity in the government's diamond policy can be expected under Pohamba. • Lev Leviev has been the driving force behind changes in Namibia's mining legislation in 1999 and further changes being contemplated for the near future.

  • Mandume Ya Ndemufayo's Memorials in Namibia
    MANDUME YA NDEMUFAYO’S MEMORIALS IN NAMIBIA AND ANGOLA By: Napandulwe Shiweda A minithesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Magister Artium in the Department of History, University of the Western Cape. Supervisor: Dr Patricia Hayes 15 November 2005 i KEYWORDS Colonization History Ovakwanyama Chief Resistance Memory Namibia Angola Hero Postcolonial ii ABSTRACT Mandume has fought two colonial powers, Portugal and British-South Africa from the time he became king in 1911 to 1917. This thesis looks at the different ways in which Mandume ya Ndemufayo is remembered in Namibia and Angola after these countries had gained their independence from colonialism. His bravery in fighting the colonizers has awarded him hero status and he is considered a nationalist hero in both Namibia and Angola. However, he is memorialized differently in Namibia and Angola. The process of remembering Mandume in different ways is related to where his body and head are buried respectively. This is because there is a belief that his body was beheaded, and his head was buried in Windhoek (under a monument) while the rest of his body is buried in Angola. The monument that is alleged to host his head is claimed to belong to him to this day. However, this monument was erected for the fallen South African troops who died fighting him. I argue that this belief was in response to the need to reclaim a monumental space to commemorate Mandume in the capital city. In the postcolonial Namibia and Angola, Mandume is memorialized at Heroes Acre and Mandume Memorial respectively.
