Happy 82nd Birthday in loving memory of the late Nǃxau ǂToma 🎉🎂🍰💯💐

Today, we honor and celebrate the life of Nǃxau ǂToma, the renowned Namibian actor and bush farmer who captured hearts around the world with his iconic role as Xixo in the beloved 1980 comedy The Gods Must Be Crazy and its sequels. His genuine charm, remarkable screen presence, and authentic portrayal of Kalahari life made him a global sensation and earned him a lasting place in cinematic history.

Though he is no longer with us, his legacy continues to inspire and entertain generations of fans. Remembered as one of Namibia’s most celebrated actors, Nǃxau ǂToma remains a true cultural icon whose impact will never be forgotten.

Forever remembered. Forever celebrated. ❤️

Cllr. Ivan Skrywer Elected Chairperson of Merged City Advisory Committee on Formalisation, Land and Housing

City of Windhoek Councillor representing the Landless People’s Movement, Hon. Ivan Skrywer, has been elected Chairperson of the newly merged Council Advisory Committee on Formalisation of Informal Settlements, Land Delivery, Provision of Affordable Housing, and Integration of Peri-Urban Areas. He will serve in this capacity until 2030.

Councillor Skrywer previously served as Chairperson of the Committee for the Formalisation of Informal Settlements and the Integration of the Groot Aub Settlement.

Previously, these were two separate committees. The Committee on Land Delivery and Provision of Affordable Housing has now been merged with the Committee on Formalisation of Informal Settlements to streamline efforts and resources, and to prevent duplication of functions.

1. The formalisation of all informal settlements and peri-urban areas, including the integration of the Groot Aub settlement
2. Ways to accelerate the formalisation process
3. Engaging stakeholders through benchmarking and effective communication, to advise Council on the way forward for housing within the City of Windhoek and the broader Khomas Region.

Congratulations to our Council member 🙌🏼❤️🙏🏽We wish him all the best in this new role.
