By: Kandjengo Kamkwaanyoka I am not going to denounce Tate Otto Nankudhu, Eliaser Tuhadeleni, or Tatekulu Kaxumba Kandolo’s contribution to my free speech at all. Nope, despite few details on their sacrifices, I just want you to hear me out. The history I learned in school didn’t say much about these great men and women. […]
By: Kandjengo kaMkwaanyoka – From Okwalondo with love It is delusional to say we know what the youth want if we never engage them.

Yes, many came for my head, saying how disrespectful the young man is, while some have agreed. Well in this piece, and on this 60th anniversary of the African Union, I am going to […]
By:Kandjengo kaMkwaanyoka Why don’t we see diamonds in the street when we have plenty but every grape harvest everyone benefits? A young dude heard me and he asked if he could join my friend and I. He asked if I am an economist and rightly said no, but a guy who read wildly on economic […]

Mind you, the quarterly GDP was valued at N$35,5 billion. So now take your calculator and calculate the contribution of the agricultural […]
By: Kandjengo kaMkwaanyoka The government, National Planning Commission, and Ministry of Finance have been signing various borrowing lines with European countries and now the USA. On top of what they owe the IMF, European private creditors, China, Africa Development Bank, Germany, and then domestic creditors. My thoughts are that we would not solve our economic […]
