Title: Youth and Class Consciousness in the Face of Namibia’s Upcoming Elections

Submitted by reporter on

According to Karl Marx, class consciousness is the awareness by a social class of its own position, interests, and power in relation to other classes within the structure of a society. As Namibia heads toward the regional and local authority elections this November, the role of young people in shaping the future of this nation cannot be overstated. This moment demands not only youth participation, but also youth awakening.

Preparing for the rainy season

Submitted by reporter on

As Namibian farmers eagerly anticipate a favorable rainy season, signs of climate change persist. Although the previous rainy season may have ended with a sigh of relief for farmers, every rainy season has become spatially and temporally unique in terms of its initiation, intensity, distribution, and duration. This means farmers need to continuously prepare for every rainy season, as each season may present different challenges and climate change related risks.  These include floods, lightning, heavy winds, cold, drought, disease, and pest outbreaks, among others.
