A convenient and secure Namibian retail website

A prevalent and disheartening status quo in Namibia has been one that has seen many intelligent young people go to university to attain a degree, only to spend the rest of their days stuck at a desk, living paycheck to paycheck, wasting their vast potential in the process. It was this that incited Tsenaye Namushinga to found Namcave, an online platform that will drive change and create jobs in Namibia.Namcave is a cyber-safe website that gives locals a fast and convenient retail platform to trade their products. “Namcave was borne out of a desire to spark hope in the Namibian youth, sorely lacking the spirit of innovation and daring,” he said. He added that he intends to combat numerous online retail crises that have become a norm in the country.Exposure and securityThe Namcave site employs leading technological frameworks and search-engine optimisation to make sure local products are easily discoverable. It also sports a transactional model that prevents scammers from swindling buyers out of their hard-earned money as it withholds the funds until the buyer confirms the delivery of their goods. Namcave thus offer credibility and exposure to the seller, and financial security to the buyer, in addition to the choice of quality products.Student-ownedHaving been in existence for two years, it is a company founded and run by students; four engineers by trade, and one executive assistant. After securing funding, the team has expanded to 13 individuals - including a cyber-specialist, financial analyst and legal counsel. They utilise common digital marketing channels such as Facebook, Google, Instagram and Twitter to advertise their mandate. They sometimes get podcast invitations from content creators, who help raise awareness of the website and how it works. Namcave works closely with small local businesses that aim to drive change and national progress through creativity and innovation with locally produced products. “The aim is to help small businesses grow and establish themselves into entities that can someday create jobs for Namibians and contribute to our nation’s economy,” Namushinga said. He added that the company is currently in the process of restructuring, and new job opportunities have been created for unemployed youth.
