PRESS RELEASE: Insight Namibia Magazine Celebrates 100th Edition (September 2013)

In a magazine market known for its fly-by-nights and flash-in-the-pans, Insight Namibia cc marks its 100th monthly edition with the September 2013 issue . The first edition appeared in September 2004 and throughout the last nine years, Insight maintained its position as Namibia's premier current affairs magazine . Originally started and currently based in Windhoek, Namibia, the magazine's founders, Robin Sherbourne, David Lush and Tangeni Amupadhi, journalists in their own right, at the time (2004) wrote that Insight was 'born out of a feeling that Namibians yearn for more than just hard news.' Readers were promised a publication that went beyond the daily headlines and covered 'the story behind the story' .

The cross is the popular universal symbol of Christianity and across the world, in every Christian community, it remains within the parameters of a simple design (+) , almost 2,000 years old. The Ethiopian Coptic Church is the only known Christian community that produces a remarkable version of the cross, called ''meskel''; even more remarkable, this development occurred independent of the influence of European Christianity. Meskel pat...

A Sweet Mouthful of History: Malva Pudding

A massive Sunday lunch followed by malva pudding ; the weekly dining ritual, and cause for a small flare of excitement in the humble lives of ordinary Namibians. The problem with a massive (hearty) good old-fashioned, traditional Sunday lunch, laid out to perfection on a cotton damask tablecloth (not polyester, mind you), is that it is a considerably generous spread (across the plate) and discerning Namibian diners instinctively know they have to make 'extra space' in the belly because there must be room for a mouthful or two of malva pudding. (Photograph: Malva pudding with custard and cream) Malva (pronounced 'malfa' like 'alpha') pudding is rumoured to be almost 800 years old and while some claim it is named after a mysterious South Afr...
