Rating Namibia’s New Leaders: Who’s Leading the Talk?

The first 100 days of Namibia’s new leadership is behind us. But beyond policies and pledges, we’re zooming in on something just as important: How our Ministers communicate.

On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to speak at a Women on Board training event-what an honour to add my voice to such a powerful room.

These were some of the reflections I shared:

Intersectionality matters. Leadership is never one-dimensional. Our age, race, upbringing, and lived experiences shape how we lead and how we're led.

Diversity invites you to the party, but intersectionality asks how and whether you're allowed to dance. That line stayed with many of us. Because it's not just about being in the room-it's about being heard, seen, and empowered in it.

Complex leadership requires complex awareness. Navigating your worldview, values, and vision demands strategic insight and missional clarity. When we lead with empathy, we create space for others to rise.

I left inspired and reminded: we lead better when we lead with all of who we are....

To be my President’s keeper

By Hilda Basson Namundjebo

Weeks before Mee Netumbo was sworn in as Namibia’s first female president, I was significantly unnerved wondering about the capacity of Namibian women to help her lead.

An exceptionally qualified individual, it is worth noting that I have absolutely no qualms about her leadership qualities. Her leadership capabilities have been honed for more than 7 decades and I regard Namibia as blessed to have the cover of a gracious lady, one who is wise, skilled and compassionate.

As I indulged a bit further to introspect, I invited Honourable Sanet Steenkamp and Hon Maureen Hinda to a talk show to deliberate on how ready we as women are as to serve, and to do so excellently.

Brand Africa 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

30 May 2025

Oxygen Namibia Proud to Power Africa's Leading Brand Study

Windhoek, Namibia Oxygen Namibia is proud to announce its continued role as a key research partner in the Brand Africa 100: Africa's Best Brands 2025 rankings, the continent's most comprehensive survey of consumer brand preferences.

Through the survey compilation, Oxygen communications was able to create temporary jobs and reach hundreds of Namibians across the country. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Brand Africa for the opportunity to be part of this impactful initiative.

Since its inception in 2011, the Brand Africa 100 has grown to cover 31 African countries representing over 85% of the continent's population and GDP, making it the most definitive and inclusive barometer of Africa's brand landscape. What sets this study apart is its research-based, independent, and brand-neutral approach, with no commercial sponsorship influencing the rankings.

Despite a continental optimism rate reaching 68%, African brands have seen a worrying decline capturing only 11% of the Top 100 most admired brands across the continent, a historic low. This underscores the urgent need to strengthen Africa's own brand presence globally and locally.

"As a proudly Namibian research partner, we are honored to contribute to a study that not only reflects what Africans value but also challenges us to elevate homegrown brands," said Hilda Basson Namundjebo, Managing Director at Oxygen Namibia. "This is more than data; it's a blueprint for a brand-led transformation of Africa."

The 2025 rankings and insights will be featured as the cover story of the June edition of African Business magazine, one of Africa's most respected publications since 1966. Following the launch, Brand Africa will lead a multi-country roadshow, unpacking

insights and championing a pan-African agenda for brand development. For more information or to schedule interviews, please contact:
