‘Fatherlessness in Namibia’ discussion set for Thursday

A high-level panel discussion on the topic of ‘Fatherlessness in Namibia’ and how it affects both individuals and society will be hosted by the Hanns Seidel Foundation with assistance from the British High Commission on Thursday.

The discussion aims to raise awareness about the severity of fatherlessness in Namibia and its effects on people and society, to share information about institutions responsible for enforcing the law and protecting the rights of women and children, as well as to encourage discussion about aspects of Namibian culture that affect the family structure.

According to Moseline Kavetu, office/team administrator at the Hanns-Seidel Foundation, the project for the debate was created to thoroughly explore the effects fatherlessness has on the Namibian people.

Kavetu in an interview with Nampa on Tuesday said the primary motivation for the proposal was to spread awareness of the important problem that affects so many Namibians.

As part of a wide range of topics, she stated, “We are aiming to educate Namibians who will be participating in the discussion on women and children’s rights, as well as the institutions responsible for upholding and enforcing these rights.”

The platform, she noted, will be utilised to enable debates on aspects of Namibian culture that affect parental dynamics, as well as to foster collaborations and connections with many stakeholders in order to bring about positive change in Namibian society.

In the same interview, Bradley Tjongarero, Research and Communications Specialist at the Hanns Seidel Foundation, stated that the discussion will hopefully expand on the notion of fatherlessness, which is something culturally nuanced to look at, implying that the broader discourse must be engaged to unpack what it culturally means and understand its realities.

The panellists will include Minister of Justice Yvonne Dausab; James Itana, the Executive Director of the Regain Trust; Sister Namibia Programme Coordinator Ndapwa Alweendo; and Yolande Engelbrecht, who is the Acting Manager of the Gender Research and Advocacy Project at the Legal Assistance Centre.

Africa can benefit from partnership with BRICS – Ramaphosa

Being a BRICS member has created new opportunities for South Africa, as the country has strengthened economic ties with the other members of the bloc, President Cyril Ramaphosa has said.

In an address to the nation on Sunday, ahead of this week’s BRICS Summit, the South African leader said membership has boosted collaboration with Russia, China, Brazil, and India in terms of skills, technology, security and innovation.

South Africa has also benefited from the New Development Bank, established by BRICS countries in 2015, Ramaphosa said. “Our country has been funded by the bank in several infrastructure projects to the value of R100 billion (over $5.2 billion) in sectors such as roads, water, transport and energy.”

“We want to build a partnership between BRICS and Africa so that our continent can unlock opportunities for increased trade, investment and infrastructure development,” he noted, adding there are “great opportunities” for other BRICS nations to participate in the African Continental Free Trade Area by relocating production and services there.

The 15th BRICS Summit, taking place in Johannesburg on August 22-24, is expected to address the possible expansion of the bloc. More than 20 countries have formally applied to join BRICS, and several others have expressed an interest.

“South Africa supports the expansion of the membership of BRICS,” Ramaphosa said, noting that “the value of BRICS extends beyond the interests of its current members.”

“BRICS countries can collectively shape global dynamics, and acting together, and have the potential to drive significant changes in the world economy and international relations. An expanded BRICS will represent a diverse group of nations with different political systems that share a common desire to have a more balanced global order,” the South African leader concluded.
