The Minister
of Education has launched the New Era Reading Campaign together with
The Dogg’s Autobiography on Friday, 2 August 2013, in Windhoek. In his
speech, the Minister praised the initiative by New Era and the Mshasho for
sharing the responsibility in educating the nation..
Dr Namwandi emphasised
that this initiative will encourage the growth of the reading culture in Namibia, stressing that it is only through
reading that a country like Namibia can produce the knowledge and ideas
necessary for the development of the country.
The Dogg, who
was accompanied by Kristian Hamutenya – the co-writer of the book, gave a
brief background and an overview of the book. He admitted that the Autobiography
was aimed at inspiring young people through his life experiences and
encouraging them to work hard to achieve their goals in life.
