EDITORIAL: Rest, reflect and plan
As the curtains fall on 2024, many of us are not only looking forward to spending time with loved ones and enjoying some time away from our demanding work schedules, but we should also view this as a time for reflection.
After all, as a country, there is a lot to reflect on, especially concerning Namibia's socioeconomic affairs.
The two major events this year were undoubtedly the death of our third president, Dr Hage Geingob, and the just-concluded national elections.
Geingob’s death not only united us in sorrow as a nation – it also showed us that when called upon, we are ready to hold hands as a nation.
This act of solidarity and unity should, however, not just end there; it should transcend to other spheres of our society in our quest for universal economic freedom and ensuring that every Namibian lives a dignified life. We must be able to unite despite our differences on political, race, religious or gender issues.
As always, our elections took place in a peaceful environment, despite the administrative and logistical hiccups on the part of the Electoral Commission of Namibia.
All these lessons learned during the course of 2024 must serve as stepping stones for 2025 and act as encouragement for us as a nation to continue doing our part in our various little ways in order to continue managing the affairs of the Namibian House.
