Africa has received a climate finance boost after the Green Climate Fund (GCF) approved US$440 million (N$7.44 billion) in new funding, representing 46% of its latest allocations. 

This brings Africa’s total share of the Fund’s global portfolio to about US$7.6 billion (N$128.43 billion).

The National Assembly has suspended its business for the day in light of the death of Swapo Party MP James Uerikua.

Uerikua died in a car accident last Friday.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah is at the family residence of the late James Unomasa Uerikua in Herero Location, Katutura, where she is paying respects and offering condolences to the grieving family.

Members of Parliament paid tribute to the late Swapo MP James Uerikua during a candlelight ceremony and prayer session in the Parliament courtyard this afternoon.

The event honoured Uerikua, who died last week in a fatal car accident that also claimed the life of his 14-year-old son, Venturo.
