Namibia 🇳🇦 has fully repaid its debt to the International Monetary Fund, bringing its outstanding obligations down to zero. The country made the final repayment of $23,887,500, as confirmed in official IMF data up to March 2026. This marks a major milestone and a strong shift in Namibia’s external debt profile as part of its broader fiscal consolidation drive. Namibia joins a small group of African nations that have successfully cleared their IMF balances, boosting its financial independence and international credit standing. This is a big win for fiscal discipline and economic sovereignty! More details are expected from the Bank of Namibia and government statements.

I married a man full of childhood wounds, trauma, and spiritual struggles, and all I gave him was love, support, and safety. In return, he gave me anxiety, depression, and years of therapy to heal. Advice: Don’t become the lifeline for broken people, because you end up destroying yourself.

There is a tablet making rounds in this town. White, small, innocent - looking and inscribed with the word Cosmos. It starts at the miraa joints ( baze ya veve or muguka). One tablet to "boost the buzz." Then another. Then you’re three days deep, eyes wide open, watching the sun rise and set without blinking. You haven’t eaten. You haven’t bathed. You haven’t slept. And when you finally crash? You don’t wake up for 72 hours. They call it “ulevi wa siku tatu.” You chew miraa, pop a Cosmos, and suddenly you’re invincible. You don’t feel hunger. You don’t feel cold. You don’t feel anything except the high. Then you come down, drink tea… and the high comes back. Because tea reactivates it. Every cup is a ticket back to the trip. This is not a drug. This is a trap. There’s a man they call Doc at Asian Quarters. Allegedly a thin Somali guy. Every miraa chewer in Nanyuki knows him. He supplies the tablets that turn young men into zombies. Walk into any Cushite wedding, and the story is the same. The food is laced. The juice is spiked. The water is not water. Guests swallow without knowing. By nightfall, they are wild, intoxicated, doing things they won’t remember until the wedding video comes out. Now, even strict Muslim communities have resorted to daytime nikah only; sign papers, go home before night. Because weddings have become drug dens disguised as celebrations. The signs are everywhere. When you see those mogoka chewers carrying water bottles, don’t dare sip. That water is not for thirst. It’s a delivery system for Cosmos. Users lose interest in the opposite sex. They’d rather spend hours with men, in dark rooms, chasing a high that kills everything else. Families are broken. Wives are beaten. Children are neglected. Because Cosmos turns men into time bombs; angry, unpredictable, violent when they don’t get their dose. Some traders have started spraying it on crops. “Shamba ya Babu ndo nataka.” Yes. They’re now feeding it to the earth, to the plants, to whoever consumes them. This is not a joke. Cosmos is not a party pill. It’s not a "mood enhancer." It’s a chemical cage. Three days awake. Three days asleep. Months of your life stolen, replaced with rage and emptiness. Young men are dying. Not from overdose. From the life it steals. From the marriages it destroys. From the minds it erases. If you are using, stop. If you know someone who is, speak. If you see that white tablet, crush it, flush it, burn it. The dealers don’t care about your future. Doc doesn’t care about your family. They only care about the money you bring.

What happens when you inherit land... Then later sell it? How does KRA tax it? Let's go through this case. Simplified to today. There is a guy called Dhanjal. He inherited land from his father in 2014. Years later, in 2022, he sold it for 178m. He filed his capital gains tax (CGT) return as a law abiding citizen. - But, CGT = Sales price - Cost price. So, what cost will Dhanjal rely on here? He went for the market price of that land in 2014. The valuer had pegged it at 150m. He computed & paid his taxes as: - (178 - 150) x 15% = 4m. KRA audited him. It rejected his cost of 150m. Their argument: - You did not buy this land. - You got it for free. - Your cost is zero They adjusted his tax to: - (178m - 0) x 15% = 27 m From 4m to 27m. Dhanjal furiously ran to court. He argued: - The cost of inherited land cannot be zero. - The law allows use of market value at the date of inheritance The court looked at it… and agreed with him. He won & KRA’s demand was set aside. Lessons. - The cost of inherited property is not zero - Use market value at the date of inheritance - KRA will push hard. Be firm.
