Namibian Style: SUNDAY mornings...

Sundays in Windhoek, as any resident will know, are very relaxed. I mean, here in Namibia, we take 'relaxed' to a whole new level, as many a tourist can testify. If you're not relaxed in Namibia, there's something wrong with you.

On Sundays, many residents attend church in the morning and then amble into different directions afterwards, perhaps to enjoy breakfast with the family or pop over to the mall for a bit of shopping and pick up a few items for the coming week.

Cool, trendy couple, Harry and Kaylin, were spotted in the underground parking of Maerua Mall, early this morning, on their way to do a bit of shopping. Harry sporting a Giorgio Armani t-shirt, tribal tattoo, and Kaylin in a grey cowl beanie and sheer sleeveless shirt, over a red camisole.You guys looked super!



Later, after a quick brekkie (breakfast) at the Craft Cafe, I ran into these friends, on their way into the Namibia Craft Centre to pick up a few gifts. They were a bit shy to give their names but had no problem as I snapped them looking fabulous, on this, a lazy Sunday morning, Windhoek.


Most of us probably just hang around the house on a Sunday morning, and in winter especially, many of us in Windhoek do not even consider it a rational decision to get up early. The fabulous peeps above (and many more) were up bright and early, out and about in Windhoek town, looking great and full of smiles. I love my town...genuinely do.

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 magazine was not started with a bank loan; the pioneers pooled their savings to get it off the ground and to this day, that same financial discipline, has ensured that Insight has never taken a loan to cover its operating, printing and overhead cos

Tattoo: Ethiopian Coptic Cross (Meskel) Design

     C hristianity arrived on the shores of southern Africa approximately 600 years ago, and unbeknownst to the bright-eyed European missionaries who disembarked from sodden ships at the Cape of Good Hope, it had been practiced on the African continent, and flourished as an independent religion for almost 1,000 years before, in Ethiopia. Today, the oldest Christian faith on the continent, rumoured to be closest in resembling early Christianity, is the Ethiopian Coptic Church (or the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church).      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 patterns and des
