Taxi Fare Reality Check: Namibia’s new N$15 taxi fare kicked in nationwide, but drivers in Katima Mulilo and Oshakati say it brings little relief outside Windhoek as commuters still negotiate down or refuse full payment—some want N$20 to cover fuel and running costs. Student Cash Crunch: NSFAF is still delaying non-tuition payments, with students saying late transfers mean missed meals, rent pressure, and even sleeping in libraries or friends’ homes. Housing Pain Points: In Rundu, residents say they’ve been paying mortgages since 2022 for unfinished homes, while in Windhoek a separate “rental finder” scam warning grows as people lose thousands to fake deposits. Transport Safety Focus: A UN-backed report flags that over 70% of low-income travel relies on walking and cycling, yet sidewalks, crossings and cycling lanes remain patchy—crashes are rising. Conservation Funding: Namibia for Life is set to sign a conservation deal worth over N$1 billion with WWF.
