‎Elindi Urges Police Training in NAMCOR Corruption Case
‎
‎Lydia Elindi, one of the wives of Malakia Elindi an accused in the ongoing NAMCOR corruption case on Tuesday has called for improved police training on how officers handle sensitive cases and interact with accused individuals.
‎
‎While testifying in court, a tearful Elindi stated that the conduct of the arresting officers was unprofessional and traumatic. She alleged that Inspector Anna, one of the officers involved, approached her in an aggressive and disrespectful manner.
‎
‎“When I told her that there were too many officers entering my sleeping room, she denied it. The officers were in a rush and harsh,” Elindi told the court.
‎
‎She further claimed that she was forced to surrender her cellphone password and SIM card PIN without any official search or seizure order presented to her.
‎
‎Her legal representative, lawyer Sisa Namandje, intervened, advising her to remain calm and assuring the court that he would address the officer's conduct at the appropriate time during the proceedings. Namandje accused the state of abusing its power in the manner in which Elindi was arrested.
‎
‎Elindi also informed the court that she is a 50% shareholder in Onyeka Clearing and Forwarding CC, a company that the state alleges received funds from Eco Trading, which were originally paid by Enercon.
‎
‎The case remains ongoing.

‎Lydia Elindi Distances Herself from Enercon and Namcor
‎
‎Lydia Elindi, the wife of Malakia Elindi both of whom are implicated in the Namcor corruption case on Tuesday distanced herself from having any personal connection with Enercon. She told the court that she only knew about Enercon through her husband, who was employed there, but had no personal dealings with the company.
‎
‎She further stated that her knowledge of Namcor is similarly limited to what she has read in the newspapers.
‎
‎When questioned by her legal representative, Sisa Namandje, about whether she had any intentions of fleeing the country, Lydia firmly denied any such plans.
‎
‎“I will not flee because I have done nothing wrong,” she said.
‎
‎“If I am granted bail, I will face my trial even after ten years because I want to clear my name.”

In China, politicians caught in major corruption scandals can face life imprisonment ,some even get executed. With the Oil Rot case shaking Namibia, should we adopt similarly harsh punishments for corrupt officials? &Smith

EU Youth Board Bids Farewell

By: Sabina Mbabi

The Delegation of the European Union (EU) to Namibia held a farewell on 19 July for the inaugural EU-Namibia Youth Sounding Board (YSB), concluding its impactful two-year mandate.

Established in 2023, the Youth Sounding Board convened 25 young Namibians to provide strategic input on European Union development initiatives, focusing on digital skills, renewable energy, voter education, gender equality, and early childhood education.

Members engaged in high-profile forums such as the African Youth Climate Assembly and COP 29. EU Ambassador Ana Beatriz Martins commended their contributions and announced the next cohort will commence in September 2025.

Outgoing Chairperson Mattheus Shivute described the experience as transformative, emphasizing youth leadership and innovation. The EU reaffirmed support for alumni involvement in youth networks.

The Youth Sounding Board remains a key platform for empowering youth to influence inclusive policy development.

Elindi’s Wife Faces Bail Hearing

By: Sabina Mbabi

Lydia Elindi, one of the wives of Namcor fraud suspect Malakia Elindi, appeared in the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday for her bail hearing.

During the proceedings, it was revealed that Lydia owns 50% of Onyeka Clearing and Forwarding CC as well as a house valued at N$800,000, but denied involvement in the company’s operations.

She told the court that her 10-year-old son is currently staying with a family friend, because he cannot be cared for by the other wife, who lives in northern Namibia. Both parents have been in custody since their arrest on 9 July.

The bail hearing is ongoing.

PDM Aims to Win Back Trust of Supporters

Kaleb Nghishidivali

The Secretary General of the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM), Manuel "Good" Ngaringombe, has called on party supporters to help rebuild trust ahead of the upcoming regional and local authority elections slated for November 2025.

Ngaringombe made the remarks on Tuesday during the party’s Central Committee Leadership Training held in Otjiwarongo.

“Fellow Democrats, the local and regional elections in November 2025 will not be ordinary. They will be a litmus test for the credibility and cohesion of the PDM,” he stated.

Ngaringombe emphasised that regaining the public’s trust would require more than rhetoric.

“If we want to win back the trust of our people, we must show them that we are united not by slogans, but by shared purpose. We must demonstrate that we can build strong teams and inclusive communities across regions and ideologies. We must not only speak of democracy and justice, but practice them starting within our own ranks,” he said.

He urged party leaders and members to return to their communities not just informed, but transformed.

“We must go back with a renewed commitment to lead with vision, with integrity, and with a deep love for our country,” he added.

The call for unity and renewed commitment follows the PDM’s poor performance in the 2024 Presidential and National Assembly elections, where the party lost significant ground, dropping from 16 parliamentary seats to just five.

Previously the official opposition since 2019, the PDM now trails behind newer political movements. The Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) and Affirmative Repositioning (AR) secured 21 and six seats respectively in the 2024 elections.

In June, the party announced a wave of retrenchments affecting several party members. A total of 14 regional coordinators, 16 organisers, and three secretaries were let go as part of a major restructuring process.

According to Ngaringombe, the retrenchments were a necessary cost-cutting measure as the party refocuses its efforts on the upcoming 2025 elections.
