Junior golf in Namibia is entering a new phase, with organisers outlining development plans for the 2026 season.

The 2025 rugby season delivered mixed fortunes for Namibia. While the year will be remembered for missing out on qualification for the 2027 Rugby World Cup, there were notable developments on the domestic front that offered some positives.

The Windhoek High Court heard on Monday that lawyers appointed under Legal Aid in the Fishrot corruption case are not paid for preparing for trial but only for the days they physically appear in court; this situation, defence lawyers say, makes timely trial readiness impossible.

Thousands of Namibian children will receive shoes over the next three years through Project Never Walk Alone's nationwide rollout targeting regions with high numbers of barefoot learners.

The initiative aims to assist 31,500 children between 2026 and 2028, according to the organisation's media release.

More than 50 pairs of school shoes, sanitary towels and deodorant were handed over to the Office of the Erongo Governor as part of a community empowerment drive by the 4x4 Initiative Foundation in Swakopmund.
