August 21, 2000, marked the birth of THE CAPRIVI VISION. It was registered by the then Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Information and Broadcasting in the Republic of Namibia, receiving Newspaper Certificate Reg. No. 14/2/98, issued by Permanent Secretary Mr Mocks Shivute.
Its first edition hit the streets of Katima Mulilo and Windhoek on April 30, 2002, as the first independent community/regional newspaper led by a young Black editor, Mr Risco Mashete Lumamezi.
Caprivi Vision prints and distributes over 10,000 copies per edition to communities throughout Namibia (including the Zambezi, Northeastern, and Northern regions, as well as Windhoek) and neighbouring countries such as Botswana and Zambia. The publication maintains a readership of over 10,000 in print and over 100,000 online readers and viewers.
Caprivi Vision has two primary objectives. The first is to foster a reading culture while simultaneously providing the broader community with news that highlights and profiles local issues. The second objective is to empower its audience by offering MSME business owners an opportunity to market themselves and grow their businesses through a quality newspaper with competitive advertising rates.
Advertising Deadlines: Material submission and cancellation deadlines are on Thursdays before publication.
Advertising in Caprivi Vision ensures that your message reaches your desired audience every week (Friday–Thursday), as the newspaper is published in English and siLozi.
Advertisers can place all their vacancy ads, service announcements, and legal notices in the classifieds section of Caprivi Vision in both print and online editions.
Advertising in Caprivi Vision provides advertisers with the advantage of reaching their relevant audience at competitive rates.
However, most newspapers in Namibia are Windhoek-based, leaving rural dwellers in remote areas without a platform to express their concerns to those in authority in a language they understand. To address this, Caprivi Vision has established distribution channels and news coverage in all eight constituencies of the Zambezi Region, allowing rural communities to share their voices in siLozi, a language they understand.
Only a few indigenous language newspapers currently exist in the country.
Among these is Caprivi Vision, which shares news with the rest of Namibia, other countries in Southern Africa, and beyond, as it is based in the town of Katima Mulilo, a gateway to African corridors. It is widely distributed throughout Katima Mulilo, the capital of the Zambezi Region, which has a population of 35,000 residents.
