Rosa Namises is a  human rights activist who has been on the front line of Namibia’s liberation since the 70’s. Born and raised in Katutura, she knows the issues people face. In exile she had the opportunity to study and learn from people in business and human rights organisations internationally. She left SWAPO after they came to power after the silencing of human rights abuses. She went on to set up the Namibian Congress of Democrats for which she was a secretary-general and a member of parliament for many years. 

​

She is currently a speaker and consultant for many International Human Rights and Environmental Organisations. She has founded and directed Civil Society Organisations in Namibia such as the Dolam Children’s Home in Katutura, which over the years, has given a loving and safe home to over 250 vulnerable children and Womans Solidarity Namibia, which works on women's capacity building, gender advocacy, food security and reducing violence in communities.

Rosa Namises is running as an Independent candidate in the 2024 Namibian Presidential elections so that she can choose the best Namibian minds to run the country; no matter what party or background they come from. Rosa Namises stands for a visionary  Namibia in which all of it’s citizens can thrive. Based on the late HGG's president's wish that no-one is left out, this starts with having decent living conditions, and opportunities for all  young people to reach their potential.
