This was a very fun interview to do. It followed a very fun walk through the Namibian desert with Boetie in which we learned a lot - and got tested! One of the oldest cultures on Earth, the San or Bushmen of Southern Africa have ancestry dating back thousands of years, with cave paintings dotted around the continent. And they are proud to share their customs and traditions with us, as you will hear. Enjoy my chat with Boeti!  www.tintrunksafari.com Instagram: @tintrunksafari

 Interview with Gavin Chamberlain, CEO & Olga Skorlyakova, VP (Market Strategy) of Bannerman EnergyOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/bottoms-in-uranium-inflection-point-signals-decade-of-growth-ahead-7039Recording date: 5th Septemper 2025Bannerman Energy has emerged as a leading greenfield uranium developer, demonstrating disciplined execution at its Namibian project while securing crucial commercial validation through recent offtake agreements. The company's systematic approach positions it advantageously in a uranium sector experiencing persistent supply constraints and execution challenges among producers.Since March 2025, Bannerman has achieved significant construction milestones, completing critical infrastructure including water systems, roads, and on-site power connections to the regional grid. The company has successfully scaled its workforce from 14 permanent staff to 140 construction workers, with plans to reach 400 by year-end while maintaining a perfect safety record exceeding one million man-hours without lost-time injuries.The company's recent A$85 million oversubscribed capital raise provides financial flexibility through mid-2026, following a similar fundraising success one year prior. Management has implemented disciplined capital allocation, placing contracts that maintain critical path timing while including termination clauses for downside protection.A major commercial breakthrough came with the announcement of two offtake agreements totaling one million pounds of uranium concentrate, representing validation from utilities after a patient three-year negotiation process. VP Market Strategy Olga emphasized the strategic approach: "We are not in a rush right now so we started this work talking with the utilities from 2023."Bannerman's competitive advantages include shallow mining with a 2.1 strip ratio, proximity to established infrastructure, and exclusive use of local Namibian contractors delivering on time and budget. These factors result in infrastructure costs below 10% of capital expenditure, compared to 40-50% for typical African mining projects.The company's stage-gate development approach allows continued construction progress without requiring a Final Investment Decision, while pursuing multiple funding pathways including debt financing and strategic partnerships. With clear targeting for 2028 commissioning and 2029 production, Bannerman offers compelling exposure to uranium market recovery through demonstrated execution capability and competitive positioning in Namibia's established mining jurisdiction.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/bannerman-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com 

Paratus Group executive chairman Barney Harmse joins the TechCentral Show to share the story of the telecommunications group's rise from small beginnings in Angola and Namibia more than 20 years ago and how it became one of Southern Africa's biggest ICT infrastructure players. Paratus started life in Angola in 2003, evolving from a local internet service provider into a pan‑African telecoms powerhouse. Co-founded by Harmse with Schalk Erasmus, Rolf Mendelsohn, Martin Boese and Miles October, it grew rapidly and now has infrastructure across the region, including in Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, Mozambique, the DRC and Namibia. This week, it officially launched the first privately owned mobile network operator in Namibia, which will compete directly with the state-owned incumbents. Today the business works closely with the likes of Starlink, Google and Meta Platforms and plays a significant role in long-distance, metropolitan and access networks across the region. It also helped land Google's Equiano cable on the Namibian coast. In this lively interview with TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod, Harmse unpacks the Paratus story, touching on: • What building telecoms infrastructure across the vast reaches of Southern Africa has entailed, including memorable moments along the way; • The company's financial backers, and its capital-raising plans – including a possible future listing in New York; • Why it built a network of long-distance fibre across Southern Africa; • Paratus's relationship with Elon Musk's Starlink, and why it's a key role player in the launch of the low-Earth orbit satellite provider's offering across the region; • The launch of the mobile network in Namibia and why it's a significant development in the Paratus story; and • The opportunities still ahead for Paratus Group.

Namibië en Duitsland se pad vorentoe lyk belowend, ook wat versoening rakende die volksmoord betref, sê Duitsland se ambassadeur in Namibië, Thorsten Hutter. Hutter het Woensdag die eerste amptelike herdenkingsdagvieringe in Windhoek bygewoon. President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah het tydens dieselfde geleentheid beklemtoon die oplossing vir die volksmoordkwessie moet almal tevrede stel, veral die gemeenskappe wat daardeur geraak is. Hutter het met The Namibian gepraat:

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains references to violence against children, which some listeners may find distressing.Three young girls - Ingrid Maasdorp, Rosvind Fabian and Beyoncé Kharuxas - were found dead in the Namibian town of Okahandja within weeks of each other.Their deaths, though separate, shared chilling similarities and sparked a wave of grief, protests and urgent calls for justice.What do these tragedies reveal about gender-based violence in Namibia? How are families and communities confronting their grief and demanding change?BBC Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja spoke to grieving grandmother Dollie Maasdorp, Windhoek-based journalist Frauke Jensen and former teacher and activist Jané Lowesi, who helped lead one of the first protests.

 “One year, we actually offered the Faroe Islanders One million pounds to stop the hunts. 1 million pounds, which would go to promoting whale and dolphin tourism to the islands and marine conservation education to Faroese kids in schools. And the Faroese response to our offer was the most emphatic no you've ever had in your life. They actually held a hunt on the 1st of January. On the first day of that offer, they went out and deliberately killed pilot whales as their official no to us.” – Rob Read  Rob Read is the leader of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation UK, otherwise known as Neptune's Pirates UK. He and his team have been working for years to end the suffering of many marine animals. Rob has initiated campaigns as well as actively operating boats, coordinating crew and flying drones, working on issues that include everything from seal shooting by wild salmon net fishermen around Scotland, in Japan against the Taiji dolphin hunts, in the Faroe Islands, against the drive hunts of pilot whales and dolphins, in Iceland against commercial fin whaling, and in Namibia, exposing the Namibian seal hunt.  I asked Rob to come on the show to talk about the places in the world where whaling is still the norm. There are not that many left, but there shouldn't be any left. And that's what Rob and Captain Paul Watson Foundation are working to achieve.

Interview with Gavin Chamberlain, CEO, and Matt Horgan, VP Corporate Development, of Bannerman Energy Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/bannerman-energy-asxbmn-strategically-positioned-for-uranium-resurgence-5875Recording date: 18th March 2025Bannerman Energy is making steady progress on its Etango uranium project in Namibia, having completed essential infrastructure including access roads and water facilities. The company has now moved into internal roadworks, construction power implementation, and bulk earthworks, with all blast work completed without incidents.CEO Gavin Chamberlain highlighted their effective water management strategy: "We built a storage dam on site with 10 days storage and since we built that dam, we've had two notified stoppages of the desalination plant, but because we had 10-day storage on site we haven't actually had to stop construction once."The company maintains a conservative financial approach with $81 million AUD in the bank as of the end of 2024, providing runway into 2026. Bannerman currently has no debt, and all running contracts have been committed within their cash flow projections. Despite careful capital deployment, the company maintains its target to bring uranium to market by 2028.Risk mitigation remains a priority, with contracts being broken into smaller packages to reduce financial exposure and enable participation by Namibian contractors. For mechanical contracts, Bannerman has implemented a two-phase approach with secured escalation formulas during competitive bidding.All primary approvals necessary for the project are in place, including environmental licenses, mining licenses, and Heritage Council approvals. Chamberlain characterized Namibia as "Africa light," noting the country's stable business environment and established 46-year history in uranium production.Recently appointed VP Business Development and Investor Relations Matt Horgan brings 15 years of mining sector experience to the company. He emphasized Bannerman's funding approach: "One of the worst things we could do at the moment is pull the trigger preemptively on a highly dilutive equity raise."The company is pursuing multiple funding work streams, including equity investors, debt financing, and potential strategic stakeholders, while navigating a volatile uranium market that has seen prices drop from $107 to the low $60s.Horgan highlighted Namibia's political independence as a strategic advantage, allowing the company to "sell to many places and secure funding channels that other projects may not be able to tap into." The project's multigenerational nature also attracts potential strategic investors looking for long-term supply security.Looking ahead to 2025, Bannerman anticipates completing roadworks and construction power infrastructure while continuing bulk earthworks. Chamberlain expressed cautious optimism that "before the end of this year we will see some form of movement on final financing solutions."View Bannerman Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/bannerman-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

'n Onlangse opinie-artikel in die Engelse dagblad The Namibian beweer dat Hyphen Hydrogen se groenwaterstof-projek in die suide verkeerde winddata gebruik het toe hulle gesê het hul bedrywighede sal snags en bedags doeltreffend wees in beide die somer en winter. Data vanaf Lüderitz wys egter dat dit winderiger is in die somer en deur die dag. Die projek sal dus baie minder doeltreffend wees as wat aanvaar word, wat produklewering, indiensneming en beloofde werkskepping ernstig sal beïnvloed.

In an insightful conversation at the Singapore FinTech Festival with CXO Conversations, Valeria Ndapunikwa Mbango and Tune Hafo Brock from the Bank of Namibia and host Matteo Rizzi discussed the nation's progressive approach to driving fintech innovation. They highlighted initiatives like the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Accelerator Lab in partnership with NUST, aimed at building tech talent locally. The Bank is also spearheading projects such as instant payment solutions for financial inclusion, a regulatory technology platform for real-time data use, and exploration of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) for cross-border efficiency.

With a focus on interoperability, tourism-linked fintech opportunities, and fostering entrepreneurship, the Bank aims to position Namibia as a unique player in Africa's digital ecosystem. Their mindset reflects a commitment to innovation, inclusion, and partnerships, paving the way for the nation's financial transformation.

Die Namibian Lives Matter-beweging glo dat die teistering van plaaslike inwoners langs die Botswana-Namibië-grens in die Zambezi-streek binnekort tot 'n einde kan kom. Vir jare het Zambezi se grensgemeenskappe teistering en moorde deur die Botswana-weermag in die gesig gestaar. Met Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah wat as president verkies is, na haar rol as minister van internasionale betrekkinge en samewerking, hoop die beweging dat daar hernieude pogings sal wees om hierdie kwessies aan te spreek.

Interview with Heye Daun, President & CEO of Koryx Copper (TSXV:KRY) Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/koryx-copper-resources-tsxvkry-rediscovering-african-copper-giant-4522Recording date: 18th of November, 2024Koryx Copper (TSXV:KRY) presents an attractive opportunity for investors to gain exposure to the compelling long-term fundamentals of the copper market. The company's flagship Haib Copper Project in Namibia is a large, advanced-stage asset with the potential to be a globally significant producer.Haib hosts a substantial resource containing 2.5 million tons (5 billion pounds) of copper at a grade of 0.3%. Over 70,000 meters of historic drilling has been completed on the deposit by major mining companies like Rio Tinto. Recent drilling by Koryx has already delivered a 10-15% increase in the copper grade to 0.35%. Importantly, this work identified new high-grade zones that indicate potential for further grade improvements. An updated resource estimate incorporating these results is pending.The deposit is open at depth and along strike, with only about 200 meters of the total depth potential drilled to date. This provides substantial upside to grow the resource with additional step-out drilling. Koryx is planning an aggressive drill campaign for 2025 to further upgrade and expand the resource.A prior PEA on Haib contemplated an 14.5 Mtpa heap leach operation. Koryx sees potential to boost recoveries and economics by employing conventional crush-grind-flotation processing, with the lower-grade material treated using bio-leaching. An updated PEA is underway incorporating this new approach and is expected in mid-2025. While the capex will be higher, CEO Heye Daun believes the large resource base can support the higher throughput and costs.Koryx is led by an experienced team with a track record of successfully developing mining projects. Daun and the core group were responsible for the Osino gold discovery in Namibia that was recently acquired for C$ 380M. Key members of the Osino team have reassembled at Koryx, supplemented by veteran copper developer Trevor Faber. This team knows Namibia well and has the relationships to smoothly advance Haib.Following a series of recent financings, Koryx is well funded to execute its business plan. The company expects to have $20 million in cash by the end of the year, sufficient to complete the planned drilling and PEA update. Koryx's shareholder base includes several highly respected mining private equity funds and natural resource investors.Based on its current 65 million shares outstanding, Koryx has a market capitalization of approximately $65-70 million. This represents a compelling valuation for an advanced-stage copper asset of this scale in a top mining jurisdiction. Successful exploration results, completion of the PEA, and progress on key development milestones all have the potential to drive a significant re-rating of the stock as Haib is systematically de-risked and advanced up the value curve.Koryx offers investors leverage to a rising copper price through a company with a proven team, strong financial backing, and a world-class project in a highly supportive mining jurisdiction. Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/koryx-copperSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

“I ask myself, where will I be after graduating? And looking at ownership of a house, it seems like a farfetched dream that could never materialize” – First time Namibian voter Rivaldo Kanongo Kavanga On the 27th of November, the citizens of Namibia will choose a new president in an election expected to be the most competitive since independence in 1990. The ruling South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) is fielding veteran politician Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah who is tipped to become the country's first female president. Land reform is one of the key election issues. Government statistics show that the white population still own 70% of agricultural land while the indigenous majority remain marginalised. Namibia attained its independence from apartheid South Africa in 1990, with liberation hero Sam Nujoma becoming its first head of state. Before South Africa's occupation, Namibia was under German colonial rule. In 2021, the European country apologised for the killings of 65, 000 Herero and 10, 000 Nama people, pledging to fund development projects worth more than a billion dollars.In today's Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja speaks to people in Namibia about whether this election will address the question of land reform.
