NBC National FM

NBC National FM Prime, all the time National Radio was established shortly after Namibia’s independence in 1992 and it broadcasts in the official language, English.

It covers 98 percent of the country on varying frequencies for different areas. Since its transformation from National Service in 1992, National radio has undergone fundamental changes just as the corporation and the Namibian nation have. National Radio became the first station to broadcast in stereo in 1994. Another milestone was achieved in 1996 when the digitalization of studios was completed w

ith the installation of Dalet 5.1 which has since been replaced with Dalet-Plus. The benefits of the system are that all music is handled by computer thus the listener is assured of a balanced variety of music within each hour. Editing of programme material is also done digitally. National Radio prides itself of not only being the voice of the nation but also as a player in the process of nation building. Through programmes such as the popular “People’s Parliament”, a phone-in programme where listeners call in with their concerns and opinions about any issue, National Radio has played a key role in promoting the democratic principles of free speech and expression. National Radio is on air 24/7 with a variety of programmes catering for all sections of the Namibian population. Presently National Radio’s programme schedule starts at 06hrs to 24 hrs and stays on air with automated music till 06:00 the next morning. The station has a staff compliment of ten (10) permanent and contract producers, and eight (8) freelance producers. The manager of the station is Mwala Muchila.

The 16th of June was the Day of the African child. Namibian youth are being called to reflect on the progress and ongoing gaps in the protection and promotion of children’s rights.

This year’s theme, “Planning and Budgeting for Children’s Rights: Progress Since 2010,” invites critical reflection on how far Namibia has come in creating a nation where children’s health, education, safety, and wellbeing are prioritized in both policy and national spending.

University students discuss a range of pressing issues, from the effectiveness of government budgeting for children’s services to the impact of gender-based violence, youth unemployment, and the recent announcement of free tertiary education.

Breastfeeding gives your baby the best start in life!

Keep going for 2 years and beyond, and when your little one turns 6 months, start adding healthy foods.

Always breastfeed first at every meal. Make thick porridge, include animal-source foods like eggs, and aim for a 4-star meal with fruits, veggies, beans, and more.

Sit with your baby, encourage them gently, and skip the bottles, sugary drinks, and salty snacks.

During sickness, offer more fluids and food, and after recovery, give one extra meal daily to help your baby bounce back.
