For readers with capital at risk and a calculator open
Namibian Business is a publication serving cross-border investors and operators evaluating Namibian commerce. Operator-grade, numerate, quietly skeptical.
Mission
We exist for one reader: the cross-border principal — SA, Botswana, Zim — already inside Namibian commerce and pricing its frictions. Peg risk, permit timelines, port congestion, empowerment math, repatriation latency. We are not a tourism story and not a development narrative.
Editorial standards
- Numerate. Every claim of materiality cites the working. If we say a deal is bad, we show the IRR.
- Named. We name projects, operators and timelines. We do not write around them.
- Verified. Every load-bearing fact is hyperlinked to a primary source. Where a primary source doesn't exist we say so.
- No press-release journalism. If a release would have made it into 30 newsletters by 9am, we don't repeat it. We add the friction nobody else publishes.
- Corrections. Material corrections are logged at /corrections with the date and the corrected fact.
Masthead
Pieter van Zyl covers capital markets for namibianbusiness.com from Cape Town and Windhoek, with a focus on sovereign debt, equity listings on the NSX, and cross-border capital flows between Namibia and South Africa. He spent a decade in fixed-income analysis before moving to financial journalism and remains more comfortable with a yield curve than a press release.
Tunyo Kambabi reports from Windhoek with a focus on capital allocation, public procurement, and the arithmetic behind infrastructure concessions. A senior contributor at namibianbusiness.com, he tracks where the money actually lands — and where the original project numbers stop adding up.
Region of focus
Namibia first. South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe in proportion to the cross-border flows that touch Namibian commerce. We will write about a Lusaka or Maputo angle only when it lands a corridor argument.
