Cybercrime bill – a journalist’s nightmare
As Namibia strengthens its ties with Western countries, we should steer clear of adopting their policies and laws. As much as they like to call countries in Africa third-world countries, we are way ahead in certain instances (we can debate about it later).

As Namibia strengthens its ties with Western countries, we should steer clear of adopting their policies and laws.
As much as they like to call countries in Africa third-world countries, we are way ahead in certain instances (we can debate about it later).
For example: In 2024, in Wasco, California, a man was hit by a train and died. Not long after his accident, wishes for him to rest in peace fell on deaf ears as a homeless man who happened to walk by picked up his severed limb and started eating it. He was filmed, and the video went viral, of course.
By a simple Google search, this is what a ‘first world country’ is referred to as: industrialised, capitalist, and democratic nations with high standards of living. Please draw your attention to high standards of living. Eating a severed limb does not seem like a high standard of living. Or maybe I’m old school because I’m not from the Epstein class type.
In 2025, California, a state in the United States, recorded a gross domestic product (GDP) of approximately US$3.9 trillion. The fourth highest in the world. Ahead of Japan. With its high GDP return, it has a high return on homelessness as well. This normally goes hand in hand with their high drug use – state-initiated crisis, but I digress.
