More School Visits in Erongo and Otjozondjupa Regions!

Our Senior Sales Representative, John Muyambango, has been very busy touring schools in Erongo and Otjozondjupa Regions this October. Among many, he visited Karibib Private School, where he updated staff members on NPH latest approved materials for the Junior Primary Phase. 

He stopped by at Okakarara Primary School to talk with teachers and and observe learners during class.

What a busy trip that was! Well done, John!

NPH Launches "South West Africa to Namibia - My Personal Struggle"

Last week, on Wednesday 1 October, Namibia Publishing House had the pleasure of launching a long-awaited book by Fousy Shinana-Kambombo titled South West Africa to Namibia - My Personal Struggle.

The launch took place at the fairly recently opened Independence Memorial Museum in Windhoek. It was a well-attended event, with Mr Goodman Gwasira as the Director of Ceremony and guest speakers such as Jeremy Silvester, Werner Thaniseb and Erica Ndalikokule, to name just a few.

South West Africa to Namibia – My Personal Struggle carries historical value for the younger generations with the hope that they understand the sacrifices made by their fathers and mothers who were forced to leave the country with little hope of ever returning. 

The book is an account of the events of the liberation struggle told from a point of view of a woman. At the same time, in the light of gender-based violence, inequality and all other social illnesses that trouble Namibia today, Fousy Shinana-Kambombo gives us a glimpse into her difficult life as a married woman in the independent Namibia.

South West Africa to Namibia – My Personal Struggle offers us an honest journey through a mind of a person as she recalls all she went through in her life. But it’s not all negative. Fousy is able to leave the bad behind and stay focused. She speaks with confidence and courage, qualities she pleads all women must have.

Although very personal and sad at times, this book is an encouragement to women to share their stories.

South West Africa to Namibia - My Personal Struggle is available for purchase at Namibia Publishing House, 19 Faraday Street, Windhoek.
