The Namibian Sun (also Daily Sun ) is a daily newspaper published in Windhoek . It is the only tabloid in the country and, like Allgemeine Zeitung and Die Republikein, is published by Namibia Media Holdings . Between October 15, 2010 and March 26, 2011, it was the only daily newspaper in the country that also appeared on Saturdays.
Until October 15, 2010, the newspaper appeared as a weekly newspaper only on Thursdays. Since then it has appeared limited to current topics from Monday to Friday, the main edition appeared on Saturday. The main edition (Namibian Sun) and daily editions (Daily Sun) differed in their layout and structure.
