Dr Panduleni Itula, President of the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) and Leader of the Official Opposition, has formally lodged a statutory appeal under Section 50 of the Environmental Management Act with the Minister of Environment, Forestry and Tourism. The appeal demands the immediate and total nullification of the Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) granted to Namibia Marine Phosphate (Pty) Ltd on 5 August 2026. The IPC firmly rejects the clearance for offsh

Six weeks ago, we called on President Nandi-Ndaitwah to break the government's silence on the incarceration of opposition leader Tundu Lissu and the political violence following Tanzania’s October 2025 general election. The response from Windhoek has not been a clear diplomatic statement on human rights, but the secondment of Deputy Chief Justice Petrus Damaseb to a Tanzanian commission of inquiry. While Justice Damaseb’s competence and integrity as one of Namibia’s finest ju

The dismissal of five board members at the Namibia Airports Company (NAC) by the Minister of Works and Transport brings the ongoing governance crisis in our transport sector back into sharp focus. While stopping administrative decay is necessary, good governance requires far more than removing individuals, it demands total transparency, procedural fairness, and structural accountability. Namibia’s national airport infrastructure is a critical strategic asset vital to our trad

The Office of the Judiciary's announcement of a two-month nationwide traffic fine amnesty (running until 30 September 2026) offers essential short-term relief for thousands of Namibians living under the threat of warrants and vehicle impoundments. However, temporary breathing room does not solve the fundamental structural issues facing our public transport sector. The majority of fines issued to taxi operators in Windhoek, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, and Oshakati stem from "stopp

When senior public officials implicated in serious administrative or financial transgressions are simply transferred or promoted instead of held accountable, the entire system of governance breaks down. From ignored forensic findings at the national airline to documented tender irregularities within civil aviation authorities, the systemic recycling of flagged executives undermines public trust and costs taxpayers millions. While individuals guilty of misconduct are shielded

Six weeks ago, the Governor of the Bank of Namibia warned in plain terms against borrowing in the name of oil, noting that public debt is already approaching dangerous levels. Yesterday, the National Planning Commission Director-General proposed doing the exact opposite, casually floating the idea of borrowing against future oil revenues to finance current spending. This is not a minor disagreement, it is a fundamental contradiction at the highest levels of governance. While

Namibia is Not for Sale: Why Our National Assets and Security Require Full Public Disclosure A nation’s sovereignty, its natural resources, and its security belong to all its citizens, not to a select few. The Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) raises serious concerns regarding the recent delegation to Beijing and the signing of several binding agreements that directly impact our military, our strategic harbors, and our minerals, all concluded behind closed doors without p

Is Namibia trading its digital future and resource wealth for foreign "gifts"? The Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) notes with deep concern the announcement that the People’s Republic of China has committed a N$245 million (98 million yuan) grant toward a "Smart City" pilot project in Namibia. While the Presidency frames this as a technological milestone, IPC views it as a strategic error that risks our long-term digital sovereignty. To put it in perspective, this gra
