The Caprivi Vision From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Caprivi Vision is an irregularly published community newspaper in Namibia with content in English and Silozi. It is sold in the Caprivi Strip and in the capital Windhoek. The Caprivi Vision was founded on 30 April 2002 by students of the Polytechnic of Namibia, editor-in-chief is Risco Lumamezi.[1] The paper has stirred up controversy by providing a platform for Mishake Muyongo, leader of the banned United Democratic Party and alleged mastermind behind the attacks that lead to the Caprivi Conflict, to further advocate the secession of the Caprivi Strip. Particularly his 2008 New Year's message[2] was triggering a sharp response from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, both against Muyongo and the editor of the paper.[3] The Namibian Society for Human Rights (NSHR) in turn defended the editor, stating that press freedom extends to opinion pieces favoring secession.[4] Six (6) Trainee News Reporters from all six (6) constituencies of the Caprivi region such as Katima Urban, Katima Rural, Kabbe, Linyanti, Sibbinda and Kongola will be receiving training in journalism every year in order to cover community issues and help them with scholarship to study further courses in Journalism and Media Studies.

The communities of the six constituencies of Caprivi will benefit from a publication that they can call their own. The Caprivi Vision is currently published on print and web on line. Caprivians live in the north-eastern part of Namibia which borders Zambia, Botswana and Angola with a population of about 79852 (2001 census). They share their language with the Lozi of Barotseland in Zambia. The Mafwe and Masubia are the largest Caprivian tribes since from the ancient time. Important elements of their economy are cattle farming, crop cultivation, fishing, crafting and hunting. [edit] References 1.	^ "About us".
