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]
