Namibia’s nuclear power ambitions offer a path to energy independence in a volatile geopolitical landscape
Namibia, the world’s third-largest uranium producer, contributes approximately 10% of global uranium output, which is no small feat for a ‘small’ nation. Namibia is currently able to produce about 60% of its energy demand locally while importing the shortfall from neighbouring nations. This dependency, coupled with rising energy demands, underscores the need for energy diversification. With hydropower, solar, and wind dominating its current energy mix, nuclear power offers a promising solution to achieve energy security, reduce carbon emissions, and support economic growth aligned with Namibia’s Vision 2030.

Section 48 overhauled: Simplifying buybacks, but not without hurdles
For years, section 48 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Act) has been the fussy relative of corporate law, transforming a simple share buyback into a full-scale family meeting, complete with special resolutions and expert reports. The recent amendments to the Act have given section 48 a welcome refresh.
