#African Grey adoption considerations

[newsbites]

News from Namibia and beyond, 16 June.

Breaking the currency peg arrangement with South Africa can lead to hyperinflation in Namibia overnight, analysts have warned, due to its heavy reliance on imports from South Africa.

The discussion surrounding adopting a different regime should be considered carefully as it could have huge implications on the Namibian currency, particularly for SMEs and key economic sectors such as agriculture and mining.

While the benefits of Namibia currently being a member of the Common Monetary Area (CMA) outweigh the costs, a stronger currency can have a positive impact on SMEs and predictability of the currency is crucial.

2. Namibia needs to reinforce its financial and related bills urgently to avoid being grey-listed by the FATF due to weak measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

Grey-listing could potentially impact foreign direct investment, trade with other jurisdictions, national trade-related payments and revenue for diplomatic missions, among other things.

Muha was speaking at the ongoing financial and related bills workshop in the Erongo region on Monday.

The workshop aims to provide members of parliament with an enhanced understanding of legislative proposals due for consideration during the special session of the National Council to prevent potential international sanctions.

3. Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, president of the African Development Bank, will lead a roundtable discussion about the Alliance for Green Infrastructure in Africa with heads of state and representatives of development partners on 22 June 2023 on the sidelines of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact convened in Paris. A week ago he was widely reported as saying that Africa has the necessary partnerships and technologies to eradicate hunger during the opening session of the 8th Africa Agribusiness and Science Week (AASW) in Durban, South Africa.

4. A performance audit report has revealed that Namibia's drought-relief programme failed to provide intervention to registered beneficiaries during their time of need, while food was not provided on a monthly basis and in the required amount.

Traditional authorities did not adhere to the set criteria during the registration process leading to more people being registered, and food was not distributed in full packages as some items took a long time to arrive to the regional councils' warehouses.

The Office of the Prime Minister did not adequately monitor the implementation of the programme, and progress reports on the implementation of the programme were not produced regularly, while an impact assessment was also not conducted to determine its efficiency and effectiveness to inform future planning.

5. The Chinese embassy claims that the Karibib-Usakos road upgrade project is not funded by the Chinese government and that it did not participate in the process that saw seven Chinese companies being shortlisted for the job.

The Roads Authority received only three bids from Namibian companies for the upgrade, and the project is being financed by Germany's state development bank, KfW.

Namibian companies will still benefit from the project as they will be afforded 25% of the value of the project to complete, and the winning bidder will be required to work with four Namibian contractors.

6. The Namibian government plans to introduce a Bill to Parliament seeking to modify common law principles to prevent recognition of same-sex marriages solemnized in other countries.

The proposed Bill comes in response to a recent Supreme Court judgment that recognized the spousal rights of same-sex couples married abroad.

Various organizations and leaders have expressed their opposition to the Supreme Court's decision, leading to calls for parliamentary action to overturn it.

would you ever be interested in taking on a large bird? by large I mean something bigger than an african grey, like a macaw

Yep, before Zeeb passed away we were looking in to adopting a goffins cockatoo, whether or not we still want a larger bird won't be a consideration for quite a while now though.

On This Day in 1881

On This Day in 1881

Pablo Picasso was born

 One of the founding fathers of the Cubist art movement, Pablo Picasso, was born in the city of Malaga on this day in 1881.

 Picasso trained under his father, who was a classical artist and teacher, showing his talent and skill at realism from an early age. Even as a teen, he was producing fine works of art that equalled those of more mature artists.

 After a brief spell in Barcelona, Picasso moved to Paris and struck up friendships with other artists there. Initially, he found it difficult to sell work, and burned many of his paintings to heat the small apartment he shared with a friend.

 Picasso developed his own style, taking influences from artists such as el Greco, Rossetti, and Toulouse-Lautrec, as well as African art and the Futurist movement. He is best known for using sharp, angular shapes, simplified lines and using a semi-abstract style, however he was also an adept sculptor, potter and poet.

 Guernica, possibly Picasso's single most famous piece of artwork, was created following the bombing of the town of the same name by the Germans during the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s. It is painted in monotone, the varying shades of grey depicting a scene of destruction and human misery. It is one of the most famous politically-charged paintings in the world.

 He continued to work through both world wars, despite considerable opposition and restrictions placed on the artistic community by the Germans occupying Picasso's adopted city of Paris during World War 2. Although never enlisting to fight for any army during the World Wars and the Spanish Civil War, he had known Communist leanings and created artwork specifically for the purposes of propaganda against the Fascist regimes.

 Picasso continued working right up until his death on 8th April 1973 aged 91, leaving a vast and varied body of work that continues to influence artists across the world.
