@nbcdigitalnews: President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah says investors must respect Namibia’s laws and consider the needs of local communities as the country seeks investment in critical industries, particularly the energy sector. She made the remarks at the U.S.-Namibia Presidential Roundtable, organised by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in New York on Monday. The roundtable focused on investment opportunities between Namibian and American businesses, with energy development among the key areas of discussion. Nandi-Ndaitwah says Namibia welcomes private-sector investment. However, she expects businesses to align their projects with national laws and recognise the responsibilities of both the government and investors. She says businesses must balance profit-making with the needs of surrounding communities. Report: Blanche Goreses #NBCNews #nbcdigitalnews #nbcDSTV282 #nbcGOtv20 #nbcplusapp
The real question is whether African countries are gaining enough agency, value and long-term development from these partnerships in return.
And for Namibia, what exactly is being put in place to protect what we need to maintain our sovereignty and control over our resources?
Who owns the infrastructure? What happens when the agreement no longer serves Namibia? Are there clear exit clauses, safeguards and consequences if things start going sideways?
Because entering a partnership is one thing. Having the power to say “this is no longer working for us” and actually walk away is another.
We shouldn’t just ask what they are bringing to Namibia.
We should be asking what control Namibia retains once they are here.

Why European come to Africa to make business and mining in Africa. Stolen all mineral resources and fight against African? Those people just come to hiding their poverty and stole.
