Two young women from the Miss Namibia 2025 Top 10 have been empowered to take their dreams even further thanks to the National Youth Council of Namibia (NYC), which awarded them a combined sponsorship of N$20,000. Johanna Swartbooi and Alica Mokhatu, both among this year’s Top 10 finalists, each received N$10,000 from the NYC as part of its commitment to youth empowerment and national representation. This act of support is not only a financial boost but a clear message that young Namibians, regardless of where they come from, can rise to represent their country with pride and purpose.
