National Council supports Marriage Bill


WINDHOEK: Members of the National Council on Tuesday expressed their support for the Marriage Bill.

The aim of the Bill is to clarify that same-sex marriage is illegal in Namibia and to address other objectives related to regulating marriage in the country. The new Bill seeks to amend the Marriage Act of 1961.

During the second reading of the bill, which had been passed in the National Assembly, members described the legislation as a valuable tool for regulating marriage in the country.

‘It is equally also going to make a big impact as to how marriage is going to be conducted and by whom. What is also interesting is that the Bill clearly defined marriage as a legal union between couples of the opposite sex on a voluntary basis,’ Philemon Ndjambula said in his contribution.

The representative of the Swapo Party from the Oshikoto Region has also urged Government to prioritise the integration of customary laws into the common law in order to protect cultural and traditional norms.

The Marriage Bill was init
ially introduced in the National Assembly by the Minister of Home Affairs, Albert Kawana to regulate the solemnisation of marriages and define marriages.

It came during the time of a heated public debate concerning the status of same-sex relationships in Namibia, following a High Court decision to outlaw colonial-era laws that criminalised sexual acts between men.

Hans Nambondi, another Swapo representative from Oshikoto, supported the Bill but cautioned Namibians against adopting foreign cultures. ‘Why is it that we like to copy negative things? We have our historical backgrounds and norms from generations to generations, and they must be respected,’ he said.

Harald Kambrude, a lawmaker from the Landless People’s Movement, stated that the Namibian Constitution does not recognise same-sex unions. He believes that the court ruling would require a Constitutional amendment to recognise same-sex marriage, a stance he does not support.

Lonia Kaishungu-Shinana, a Swapo lawmaker from the Ohangwena Region, expres
sed that the legislation was long overdue. She emphasised that only marriages between individuals of opposite sexes should be solemnised.

The Parliament’s support for the Marriage Bill is a significant setback for the LGBTQI+ community in Namibia, as they actively advocate for legal recognition.

NamPower donates stationary to Dordabis Primary School


WINDHOEK: The Namibia Power Corporation (NamPower) on Monday handed over learning materials valued at N.dollars 70 000 to learners at the Dordabis Primary School.

More than 30 000 learners at the school received basic learning materials such as notebooks and stationary, while photocopy cartridges, computers and a freezer were also handed over to the school.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, NamPower marketing officer Martha Shifotoka said the donation symbolises the company’s commitment to ensuring that every child has the resources they need to succeed.

‘Each item we donate today will empower students, spark creativity, and foster a love for learning,’ she said.

Shifotoko said many young learners, especially in rural Namibia, do not have access to learning materials, and having a notebook and a pen is not a given, but rather a privilege.

‘Education is a fundamental right; having the right tools can make all the difference. With limited resources and competing educational needs, it is incumbent upon us
as corporations and the private sector to aid the government in fulfilling these essential needs,’ she said.

Meanwhile, Erikkson Shilemba, Senior Education Officer at the Khomas Teachers’ Resource Centre, said the items will significantly impact the lives of the learners of Dordabis Primary School and the community at large.

‘NamPower’s support plays a vital role in enabling us to provide high-quality education and meet the goals of education, which are access, equity, quality, and democracy,’ Shilemba said.

He said the donation not only enhances the Khomas Education Directorate’s ability to achieve its educational goals, but also inspires the learners and staff by showing them the value of community partnership and corporate social responsibility.

Receiving the donation, Dordabis Primary School principal Rennellie Guriras said the items will have a profound impact on the lives of the learners and community.

‘Dordabis Primary School is truly humbled by your commitment, especially to a rural school such a
s ours. We promise to take care of the donation and use it responsibly,’ Guriras said.

Health ministry not recruiting nurses


The Ministry of Health and Social Services has distanced itself from a social media post that said the ministry is recruiting nurses.

In a statement to the media, health ministry spokesperson Walters Kamaya said the ministry has taken note of the post circulating on social media platforms stating that ‘Katutura Hospital is looking for unemployed Nurses both ENs and RNs interested parties must drop their applications at Floor 1 Room 9 [sic]’.

‘The ministry distances itself from that social media post and would like to inform the public that vacancies at all facilities are advertised through the Office of the Prime Minister staff circular, ministry circulars or notice boards at health facilities with an official date stamp. Any notice short of the above details is not authentic and should not be entertained,’ said Kamaya.
