The Namibian Sun is a daily newspaper in Namibia. It was launched on 20 September 2007 as a weekly tabloid newspaper published on Thursdays. [1] The initial print run was planned to be 36,000 copies. The paper publishes mostly in English with some pages in Oshiwambo and targets a readership aged between 18 and 40. [2] It has been published daily since 2010. [3]

The Namibian Sun is published by Namibia Media Holdings (formerly Democratic Media Holdings [2] ) which also publishes Allgemeine Zeitung and Die Republikein . [4] While AZ has a German-speaking readership, and Republikein targets Afrikaans speakers, the Namibian Sun focuses on an English-speaking audience. [1] It is similar to the South African Daily Sun in layout and features. [5]
