A large group of peace-loving residents from the Zambezi Region staged a peaceful demonstration today to voice their firm rejection of continued activities by the United Democratic Party (UDP), which they accuse of pushing a secessionist agenda.

The demonstrators, joined by all four traditional authorities of the region, gathered in solidarity to denounce what they termed "unsanctioned activities" aimed at destabilising peace and unity in the region. They expressed concern over the UDP’s alleged attempts to revive ideologies advocating for the separation of Zambezi from the Republic of Namibia.

A Historic Moment of Triumph at Lüderitz Hospital

By: Junior Mutaleni

The 11 December 2025 marked a powerful milestone at Lüderitz Hospital as Ms. Albertina Ambinga became the first patient in the hospital’s history to ring the bell, symbolizing the end of her long cancer treatment journey.

Diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer in 2016, Ms. Ambinga was told she had only six months to live. Her journey has been one of pain, courage, faith, and endurance. After beginning her therapy in 2017 a six-week process she continued to fight through the setbacks, hospital stays, and emotional challenges.

She credited her strength to prayer, especially Psalm 123 and Catholic Hymn 100, and encouraged others to put their trust in God and not to give up.

During her speech, she passionately urged parents to ensure young girls receive the HPV vaccine, highlighting that prevention is possible and lifesaving. She also called on men to support their partners during recovery, noting how lack of understanding and emotional support from men contributes to women’s emotional suffering.

Ms. Ambinga emphasized that cancer is not a death sentence, but a battle that requires love, support, and medical care. Her attending doctor, Dr. James Msirikale, traveled from Windhoek to be present for the bell-ringing ceremony. He applauded her strength and reminded the community to end the stigma surrounding cancer and its patients.

By Junior Mutaleni

Namibia is preparing to welcome a major game changer in its blue economy, as the African Aquaculture Company (AAC) advances plans to launch the country’s first large-scale sustainable salmon farming project.

In a recent site visit to the proposed offshore farming locations, Dr. Kaire Mbuende, Director General of the National Planning Commission, expressed strong support for the initiative, highlighting its potential to bolster economic diversification, export growth, infrastructure expansion, and job creation.

AAC holds an "Offshore Commercial Phase" license, authorizing the production of up to 51,000 tonnes of salmon along the Lüderitz coastline. The ambitious project, developed in collaboration with Norwegian aquaculture experts, is expected to generate as many as 5,000 jobs and position Namibia as a global player in sustainable fish farming.

“This project is more than just fish farming it’s about transforming coastal economies and empowering communities,” said Torben Foss, co-founder of AAC. “Namibia must start preparing now to fully leverage the economic and social benefits of this industry.”.

The project also signals growing investor confidence in Lüderitz as a hub for innovation and marine-based development. Urban Development Steering Committee member Jonas Mahalelo: A control Officer of Properties for the Luderitz Town Council. noted the town’s readiness to support such transformative initiatives.

Operations are slated to begin in the second quarter of 2026, marking what could be a defining milestone for Lüderitz and Namibia’s aquaculture future.

🚨 Lüderitz Concern Over Illegal Public Transport Fare Increases 🚨

By: Junior Mutaleni

The Lüderitz community has raised concern over the recent hike in local public transport fares allegedly introduced without approval despite clear directives from the Ministry of Works and Transport.

According to a notice circulating in town, fares were increased at the beginning of December. However, Damien Mavegano, Deputy Director for Transportation in the Ministry of Works and Transport, confirmed that no fare increase has been approved by the Transport Board.

“Any increase without board approval is illegal and a violation of the operator's permit conditions,” said Mavegano. He urged the public to report such cases to the Ministry, Roads Authority, or the Transport Board Secretariat.

He also clarified that only children occupying a seat should be charged, not those sitting on a parent’s lap.

⚠️ If investigations confirm illegal pricing, operators risk suspension or revocation of their permits.

A formal media release from the Ministry has been shared to the public too.

With no clear confirmation that electricity will be fully restored by 18h00 today, event organizers have taken a proactive decision to move the lighting ceremony to Monday, 8 December 2025, between 19h45 and 20h00.

This adjustment ensures that the community can safely and joyfully witness the lights being switched on in suitable evening conditions.

Residents are thanked for their continued patience and festive spirit during this time.
