The Namibian

“The Namibian failed to apply its usually high journalistic standards and work according to the media code of ethics, in that we failed to give the TransNamib management and Hatutale the opportunity to comment on what sources alleged was said in the meeting.”

“We unreservedly apologise for this.”

“IN a report dated 17 July 2023, headlined: 'Remove tribal affiliation from genocide debate – Riruako', The Namibian mentioned that the newly installed Ovaherero splinter group chief Hoze Riruako said the genocide issue cuts across tribal affiliation and should be treated as an issue that affected all Namibians.”

“Kelly came to Namibia in 1998, working as a language editor and writing for The Namibian, but it was only in 2017 that she says she finally had the time and the 'head space' to begin to write some of the stories she had been mulling over for the best part of a decade.”

“It was incorrectly reported that Windhoek City Police senior superintendent Eliaser Iiyambo has confirmed that he was interested in the job.”

“A correction in the headline has been made on our digital platforms, including The Namibian's e-Paper.”

“The Namibian published a gem-quality scoop that taxi driver Sibolile two weeks ago returned a handbag containing N$8 000 in cash and several valuables to a customer who forgot it in his cab.”

“In an exclusive interview with The Namibian ahead of his stop in the Land of the Brave to promote the project he released in July, Burna Boy makes reference to the song 'Common Person', a heart-wrenching ballad on which he laments being an ordinary person with a purpose all his own.”

“Which is why Joseph Diescho's 'Peepol are Tayad' fan mail to African leaders, which appeared in The Namibian on 19 August 2022, deserves a special place in the Old Testament.”

“Yet, The Namibian and Namibian Sun report spuriously and falsely that explaining inequality and poverty within the context of a century of colonialism is "blaming colonialism" for our ills.”
