The sky is the limit for Tsek web series UNWRAP.ONLINE Movie fanatics can brace themselves for another season of the local web series ‘Tsek’ as the production team plans on expanding the local series. In an interview with Unwrap.online this week, production assistant Uakaa Jeomba said the first season has been received well, creating the desire to extend the episodes further. “There are five episodes in total. They are short. Would be great to get. We would love to expand on the story. Audiences from across the continent have been asking for us to do so,“ she said. Produced by Inchiology Studios, the five-episode series features a neighbourhood dog that is all too eager to bite a chunk from one’s derriere. The web series was written by Jenny Kandenge, Inna Goroh, and Jacob Shichilenge and directed by Goroh. The series offers comedic relief, demonstrating the life of the main actor Jonas trying to navigate through life. Jonas is labelled a ‘moegoe’ in the film. However, life leaves him with no choice but to stand up for himself. “We wanted to create something very different from what’s we’ve seen before. It was inspired by ‘Scott Pilgrim vs the World’, a character facing everyday situations in extraordinary and fantastical manners. We wanted it to feel crazy but in a local context. The story needed to feel like a story we could all relate to,” Jeomba said. The cast includes Theodor Goagosteb, Abigail Goliath, Lugino Goraseb, Fausino Paulus, Whilzahn Gelderbloem, and Elago Akwake. The mini series can be viewed on YouTube at Inchiology Studios. Jeomba further noted that, apart from the series being full of laughter, there are a few life lessons to learn from the series. “The screening of the first episode had someone in the audience say it forced them to look at their lives and see where they were letting small things dictate the course of their destiny. Some said they had the courage to take charge. Whatever each viewer takes away, we hope they enjoy the series,” she added. ‘Tsek’ shines a light on the immense talent within the Namibian film industry The post The sky is the limit for Tsek web series appeared first on The Namibian.

Amupanda calls for state-owned shoe factory to cut imports Hertta-Maria Amutenja Affirmative Repositioning leader Job Amupanda has urged the government to set up a state-owned factory to manufacture boots and shoes. He says this will help meet local demand and cut down on imports. In a submission to the Ministry of Trade and Industrialisation last month, Amupanda said Namibia spends hundreds of millions of dollars importing over five million pairs of shoes each year. He pointed out that sectors such as mining, police, defence, and private security need boots and shoes regularly. “If each worker in these sectors is supplied with two pairs of boots annually, there is already a guaranteed local market for at least 10 million pairs every two years,” he wrote. “We import more than five million pairs of shoes yearly. This happens while we have a predictable, guaranteed market for shoes and boots in the security, police, defence, private security, mining, fishing, construction, and other sectors,” he said. Amupanda believes a local factory will reduce the import bill, create jobs, and boost manufacturing. “Instead of importing boots and shoes, Namibia should produce its own ‘by the boots’, creating jobs, keeping money inside the country, and building a capable, developmental state,” he said. He said the government could support the factory through public procurement. “In fact, the Namibian government, through the defence ministry and others, is the biggest buyer of boots and shoes. Why can’t the same government build a factory and buy directly from itself?” he asked. Amupanda said the factory must be state-owned and not run by private companies. “It must be a state project, producing boots for the army, the police, the prison services, the security companies, and miners. The government must use procurement to sustain the factory,” he stated. He suggested building the factory in a rural town like Otjiwarongo or Mariental. “The factory must be in a rural town or small urban centre. Let the youth there be trained and employed. Namibia cannot continue as a buying country while our youth are unemployed,” Amupanda said. In 2020, during the launch of the AR election manifesto, Amupanda proposed converting the Ramatex building in Windhoek into a garment factory to produce uniforms. He said this would help local businesses, lower import costs, and create jobs. In November 2023, the Namibian Police revealed it still imports materials for uniforms due to a lack of local capacity. Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi said the police have no option but to buy materials abroad. While belts, hats, and socks are sourced locally, these still come from suppliers who import them. Shikwambi said local manufacturers only handle cutting, making, and trimming garments. This shows a gap in Namibia’s manufacturing ability, which Amupanda believes the government must fix. His proposal for a local boots factory fits into his broader plan to reduce imports and create jobs. Police uniforms are funded through the national budget, managed by the Ministry of Finance and Public Enterprises. Uniforms are purchased each year based on available funds.

Toymaker Lego opens Vietnam factory, taking production closer to key markets By Isabelle Yr Carlsson COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Toymaker Lego has opened a new factory in southern Vietnam, it said on Wednesday, as the company aims for long-term growth in the Asia Pacific region and to move production closer to its consumers. Lego has invested $1 billion in the project, part of its decade-old strategy of placing production facilities close to key markets which has previously helped rein in costs and shield it from external factors and supply chain disruptions. The Danish family-owned company said it would also open a regional distribution centre in Vietnam later this year, its second in Asia, to increase flexibility and agility in its supply chain network. The distribution centre will be operated by Kuehne und Nagel. Lego, which sells billions of plastic bricks annually, now has six factories worldwide, located in Denmark, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Mexico, China and Vietnam. The group is building a new factory in the U.S. state of Virginia, which is expected to start production in 2027. "Tariffs is not what’s keeping me awake at night," Christiansen said at the time.
