AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Namibia–South Africa ties: Presidents Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah and Cyril Ramaphosa co-chaired the 4th Bi-National Commission in Pretoria, signing seven agreements on trade, investment, air services, gender equality, labour, legal affairs and correctional services, while also pushing deeper economic cooperation and cross-border value chains. Prisoner transfers: South Africa’s Correctional Services Minister Pieter Groenewald signed an MoU with Namibia to advance inter-state transfer of sentenced prisoners, but transfers will only start once enabling legislation is in place. Immigration focus: Ramaphosa reiterated South Africa will strengthen immigration laws amid rising migration pressures, stressing constitutional values and border cooperation. Child protection at home: Jonah Home in Walvis Bay, caring for about 14 vulnerable children, is appealing for community support to keep its lifeline running. Education and skills: Langer Heinrich donated over N$1m in maths and science textbooks to Erongo schools; Namibia also announced 17 young competitors for WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, plus a maths support programme reaching about 40,000 learners. Social workers under strain: The health and social services ministry says social workers face unsustainable workloads and secondary trauma due to staff shortages and complex child cases. Road safety push: Parliament is calling for a safer transport system approach as road accidents rise, moving beyond blaming drivers alone. Sports community loss: Kavango East mourns Christine Simasiku Kavola, remembered for years of netball and school sport support. Culture & travel: A 1940s-themed Southampton Hospital Foundation supper club event is set for August 1, and Namibia is among countries getting visa-free Spain access for short stays from 2026.
