AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Unam Veterinary Hospital Funding: The University of Namibia is seeking about N$30m to complete the second phase of its Veterinary Academic Hospital, including a surgical theatre and auditorium, after securing N$98m so far (including N$38m from the African Development Bank and N$60m from government). Lab Compliance Pressure on Farms: Justice and labour minister Wise Immanuel says some communal farmers are struggling to meet the national minimum wage (currently N$14/hour, rising to N$18/hour in Jan 2027), with gaps flagged around contracts, payslips, Social Security registration, and benefits. Mining Labour Tensions: Small-scale miners in Kunene complain of conflicts with licensed companies and poor working conditions, while Namibia’s mining sector also faces broader scrutiny over conditions. Marine Phosphate Legal Fight: Namibia Marine Phosphate’s Sandpiper project got an ECC, but opposition and fishing bodies are already challenging it—raising concerns about fairness, monitoring and whether key information was properly handled. Housing Supply Bottleneck: FNB data points to continued weakness in serviced plot sales, blaming delays in land servicing and limited serviced land delivery for slowing housing market recovery. Trade Talks with India/SACU: India and SACU (including Namibia) are moving toward a preferential trade agreement, with talks targeted to start soon and conclude within a year. Corporate/Capital Moves: Wia Gold secured commitments for an A$125m placement to advance its Kokoseb project to first gold, subject to shareholder approval. Transport & Logistics: TransNamib and MSC launched a rail container cargo soft start between Windhoek and Walvis Bay, aiming to grow intermodal volumes. Football Funding: The Namibia Football Association says it covered about N$9m from its own funds to finish the 2025/26 Premier League after earlier government funding ran out.
