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]
