Our story regarding the controversial Jesus Christ Ministry in the North has been the talk of town and many are still struggling to come to terms with the shenanigans of the implicated and self-proclaimed pastors who admitted to impregnating young girls at a northern village.
Like many commentators out there, we feel that some new churches are operating more like a business than a Christian fellowship.
It is sickening to see today’s churches riddled with self-proclaimed prophets who are nothing but money grabbers out there to manipulate desperate unwitting Namibians.

More than 1 400 cattle were allegedly lost because of irregularities on the part of a private feedlot operator, but Meatco says the pending court proceedings may have been pre-empted by “malicious” media reports.
An article that was published last week in The Namibian newspaper claimed that an investigation into Meatco revealed that the company’s management failed to employ strict measures to prevent the loss of around 1 440 cattle.

Allegations of bribery have been levelled against a junior headman who reportedly entered into an agreement by allocating 15 hectares of land at his village for sand mining without the consent of a senior headman.
Onamutayi district senior headman Amon Shipanga has blocked an attempt by Groot Silica Mining to excavate sand at Okahenge, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Oukwanyama Traditional Authority.
Shipanga reportedly accused the village headman, Thomas Shinyengu, of having received bribes from the mining firm in order to carry out operations at Okahenge.

Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF) boss Hilya Nghiwete yesterday repeatedly blamed the recordkeeping of the Ministry of Education for unaccounted funds at the institution. Nghiwete appeared before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Accounts, where she was grilled by lawmakers about the operations of the student funding body following findings from the Auditor-General’s report, which highlighted that millions were unaccounted for during the period when the fund was still a department in the Ministry of Education.

A disgruntled faction in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Republic of Namibia (ELCRN) claims that the planned 11th extraordinary synod scheduled between 23-26 July at Okahandja is illegal.
This extraordinary session will review the election of church council members that took place on 4 February earlier this year. The decision for the review comes after a circular in which Bishop Ernst //Gamxamûb in March had apologised for ‘depriving’ eight incumbent church council members of their vote because they were kicked out of the venue before the elections took place.

Namibia’s International Relations Minister Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah says modalities still need to be worked out on how to make the recently introduced African passport available to all Africans.
The passport, which was unveiled during the recent 27th African Union summit in Rwanda, is said to be an attempt to ease the movement of people and stimulate trade across the continent. Ghana has already introduced a new visa-on-arrival policy for citizens of AU member states.

Sentiments that the proposed New Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF) Bill might not be the right instrument to address the inequities resulting from past discriminatory laws and practices, will not be entertained.
This law is coming whether it is “incompatible” with the Namibian Constitution or not. There is also a push to table the Bill in parliament as early as September, following the last series of public consultative meetings to be held in August.
