Jackson Kaujeua Junior, son of the iconic Namibian musician the late Jackson Kaujeua, died in Norway this morning after a long battle with cancer. He was aged 46. 

Cultural and visual artist Papa Shikongeni has called for urgent action to honour legendary artists who often pass away without recognition and under deplorable conditions.

He made the appeal in a tribute to reggae icon Ras Sheehama, who passed away today.

Three-times golden medallion winning vocalist, Rayne Sadler, says Namibian artists are often faced with financial challenges, including the support from their own families.

14-year-old Sadler has been selected to represent Namibia on a global stage in New York from 9–18 July next year.
