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:

PRESS REVIEW – Tuesday, May 27: First, the tit-for-tat between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin after Russia's assault on Kyiv continues to make headlines. Also, Israeli papers are divided on how to cover the most recent Jerusalem marches. And, Namibia will be celebrating their first ever Remembrance Day to commemorate the genocide of the Herero and Nama people. Next, Eritrea's national football team will be playing its first game since January 2020. Finally, Brigitte Macron's shove makes waves in the papers. Trump and Putin's tit-for-tat comments are widely discussed in the papers, the BBC sums it up in their headline: “Kremlin calls Trump emotional after US president says Putin is crazy”. Trump's comments came after Russia launched the largest drone assault on Kyiv in the last three years, which killed several civilians. The New York Times says that although he condemned the killings, he has not made Putin pay the price. It says that Trump has never followed through with his warnings, resulting in a "strategic void in which Trump complains about Russia's killings but is unwilling to make Putin pay even a modest price”. CNN says that the president might be shifting his perspective on “what looks like an increasingly futile US effort” to find peace in Ukraine. Meanwhile, cartoonists in the Times and the Guardian make light of the fading bromance.Jerusalem saw marches and celebrations for Israel's Jerusalem day, which were covered very differently in the Israeli papers. Jerusalem Post have a peaceful looking photo of celebrants waving Israeli flags for Jerusalem day. The Times of Israel reports that far-right protestors chanted “death to Arabs”, and held up banners calling for the expulsion of Palestinians. The left-wing paper Haaretz is also covering the march, it says that the hate filled Jerusalem March demonstrated the far right's true goal for Gaza.Namibia will be celebrating Remembrance Day tomorrow. The Namibian daily New Era has it on their front page today, reminding everyone that Remembrance Day is tomorrow. It is the first time Remembrance Day will be celebrated to honour the victims of the genocide against Namibia's indigenous Herero and Nama populations between 1904-1908. It is thought that up to 110,000 people were murdered by the German Empire. The German paper Stern is also covering this story. In May 2021, Germany recognized the atrocities as genocide for the first time, but they did not apologise. The article says that although the German government pledged to provide reconstruction aid worth 1.1 billion euros, it ruled out reparations.Eritrea is holding a small football tournament for the 32nd anniversary of the country's "independence". L'Equipe reports that the Red Sea Boys, Eritrea's national football team are going to play again for the first time since January 2020. Le Monde is also talking about the team's return and travel ban. It features an interview with French historian Gérard Prunier, who doubts that this tournament should be taken as a sign of newfound openness.Finally, Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have been in the spotlight after a video emerged of Brigitte Macron slapping or shoving her husband Emmanuel Macron as they landed in Vietnam. “Nonsense” according to Macron in the New York Times. The president later said they were just “joking” as reports the Guardian.You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

Sintana Energy CEO Robert Bose recently spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive to share excitement that is building in offshore Namibia following a series of major technical disclosures from Galp Energia within Petroleum Exploration Licence 83 (PEL 83), where the Portuguese energy company has identified an estimated 10 billion barrels of original oil in place from its first two exploration wells at the Mopane prospect. This significant update was highlighted by industry analyst and commentator Mr. Bose, who called the disclosure “very promising and very exciting”—marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of Namibia's offshore oil narrative. Galp's estimates were backed by a resource assessment from renowned petroleum consulting firm DeGolyer and MacNaughton, which confirmed 900 million barrels of contingent recoverable resources based on operations completed as of November 30, 2024. “This is the first real glimpse we've had into the scale of what Mopane could represent,” said Bose, emphasizing that the data reveals both the technical robustness and commercial potential of the project. Bose also spoke to the broader sentiment shift in Namibia's upstream oil sector. While global supermajors such as Shell, Chevron, TotalEnergies, and Woodside have encountered a mix of technical and operational hurdles in the region over the past few years, a renewed sense of cautious optimism is taking hold. The growing interest from top-tier exploration and production companies is evident, he noted, particularly following a strong industry presence at a recent energy conference in Namibia—the fourth such event attended by Bose. Adding further momentum to the offshore Namibian story is the recent drilling success announced by Rhino Resources. Operating near Sintana Energy's acreage, Rhino reported flow rates of 11,000 barrels of oil per day from a new discovery. The result not only validates the regional hydrocarbon system but also opens new possibilities for shallow-water exploration—an area Bose described as “really exciting” and underexplored compared to deeper prospects. #proactiveinvestors #sintanaenergyinc #tsxv #sei #otcqb #seusf #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #OilExploration #Namibia #OrangeBasin #EnergySector #PEL83 #RobertBose #GalpEnergia #Chevron #QatarEnergy #EnergyNews #ProactiveInvestors #2025EnergyTrends

 “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. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Jona Musheko, die woordvoerder van die Namibië Groenwaterstofprogram, wat sê hulle is wel besig om opgedateerde data in te samel.

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. Acknowledging Namibia's small population as a challenge, they emphasized the need for collaboration among startups, banks, and international investors. 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.

Namibia is preparing for its seventh presidential and National Assembly elections since gaining independence 34 years ago, with the ruling SWAPO Party facing potential shifts in support. The November 27 election marks a milestone as SWAPO fields its first female presidential candidate, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who could become Africa's third female president. The key question is whether SWAPO can recover from its loss of a two-thirds parliamentary majority in the last election and retain its long-held power. Vitalio Angula has the story from Windhoek

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.
