Last update: 10 hours agoReparatory Justice in Accra: Namibia’s President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah praised John Mahama’s push for UN Resolution A/RES/80/250, calling it a step toward restorative justice and urging unity over old divisions. Mahama opened the Next Steps conference and announced three global panels: advisory on reparatory justice, restitution of cultural artefacts, and a legal panel to map pathways for action. Child Protection & Poverty: Child marriage remains a trap for Namibian girls, with estimates putting early unions at 18.4% and linking it to school dropout and long-term joblessness. In Omaheke, child hunger highlights the “wealth paradox” as NamRA Stars donations support vulnerable children amid ongoing malnutrition concerns. Everyday Costs & Planning: A look at the rising “true cost” of funerals in Namibia shows how grief is often paired with heavy financial pressure. Education planning is also described as fragile—fees, life events, and income shocks can quickly derail savings meant for the next generation. Local Living & Mobility: Windhoek expands cashless bus top-ups via PayPulse, letting commuters load bus cards through a mobile app or USSD.
