 The Diamond House (01.06.2010)
A beautiful villa on the banks of a lake outside Berlin, built with money that began with a chance find in Namibia, has a tale that sparkles with the excitement of the rollercoaster ride of life, the richness of a drama and the pathos of a tragedy.

 Namibia through the eyes of the Born Free (01.05.2010)
They walk in the streets. I recently saw them in my own neighbourhood. Sauntering along the sidewalks, three boys who had their arms slung around each other’s shoulders. Friends. This may seem trite to you, but one of them was white and the other two were black.

 Namibian democracy – two decades on (01.03.2010)
Two decades since the independence of Namibia in 1990 is as good an opportunity as any to reflect on the state of democracy and governance in the country. Democracy, like the state, is historically and socially constructed. Mindful of the variants of democracy, it is helpful to consider democracy at three complementary registers: as a value, as a social process and a practice, and as a way of governance.

 Celebrating a wild, wonderful life (01.11.2009)
Can a place choose a person? I believe Namibia has this power. She captivates with her landscape, the soft dunes, flowing sand and dry riverbeds that hold the promise of flash floods. She tightens her grip with provocative roars, trumpeting elephants, and stinging winds. When the sun sets over the ocean momentarily flashing green, her hold becomes permanent.
