Analyst questions Sona's investor-first focus amid inequality
President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah's State of the Nation address highlighted economic growth and foreign investment in sectors like green hydrogen and mining, but critics argue the speech missed an opportunity to address austerity, inequality, and the cost-of-living crisis, with a development budget of N$12.8 billion deemed insufficient to tackle decades of inequality and persistent unemployment.

A left-wing critique argues that while independence brought political sovereignty and constitutional achievements, economic structures of racial capitalism were not dismantled but "redecorated," and inequality persists because the state remains integrated into global capitalism and neoliberal logic. The article contends that class replaced race as the mechanism of exclusion, and that emancipation requires structural transformation of the economic base, not merely social spending or policy reform.

An opinion piece criticizes Namibia's 2026 budget for adhering to austerity and neo-classical economics rather than pursuing structural economic transformation. The authors argue that the government should instead implement expansionary policies, industrialisation, public investment in social sectors, and democratic economic controls to address unemployment and inequality.
