The core function of the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation's (NBC) newsroom is to inform, educate, and unite the nation through credible, localised news coverage. 

A 62-year-old resident of Windhoek's Goreangab area, Maripurua Kotjipari, has been left homeless after his shack burnt down.

Kotjipari was reading by candlelight at nine o'clock in the evening when he fell asleep.

On national days such as independence, people, including leaders, often flock to the host region for the official celebration.

With no event organised, residents would go about their lives the usual way.
