Talking About My Generation
‘Today’s youth are tomorrows leaders’ is a phrase that is often heard in a modern day developing country like Namibia, but it is rare that reliable and comprehensive actions are then taken to reinforce these words.
How refreshing then, to see the plans for a really well conceived project; Lüderitz Youth League is a brand new [...]
A Beautiful Feeling: Brian Finch
Slouched on a barstool on a smoky stage, a steelstringed guitar draped across his knees and a faded black Trilby pulled low over his face, Brain Finch looked as rock and roll as you can possibly get in Lüderitz.
The white haired Durbanborn musician has been smooching audiences with his gravely voice and feel good [...]
Drink Of The Month- White Russians
A White Russians is a drink heavily advertised by the 1998th blockbuster: “The Big Lebowski”, in which Jeff Bridges takes on the roll as super relaxed hippie Jeffrey Lebowski, who gets involved in the mob-scene due to a case of mistaken identity.

Rumours Of Something Tasty
Situated just off Bismark Street and attached to the ever popular Kapps Hotel, Rumours Grill is a little wooden shrine to good meat.

Perturbed, the two [...]
Just Imagine
By Ndafa Alpheus
Just imagine for a second that there’s peace in every land. We, each as human beings reach out and hold each other’s hand. Just imagine for a moment if each country felt like kin. The feeling, oh so, powerful standing proud with every color skin. Just imagine for a heartbeat how quickly we [...]
Mission Moment
By Reverend Jan Scholtz
The concerns that Martin Luther King addressed back in the 1960’s were not just issues of society and culture, they were issues of justice. The same is true for many of the challenges that face us today.
The call to respect and care for each other as sisters and brothers isn’t just a [...]
Break The Silence June
By Gregory De Vries
There is a strong link between HIV/AIDS and poverty, which means that poor communities are the hardest hit with the pandemic, and that HIV/AIDS can also result in pushing households into poverty.

Barking Dogs
People talk, cats meow, ducks quack, and dogs bark. That’s what they do. But when dogs bark excessively, it’s enough to create neighbourhood uproar. Assuming all parties are reasonable in their expectations, that’s the last thing anyone wants. So what is to be done if your furry pal barks like there’s no tomorrow? [...]
