Oh, so unemployment is now a problem of the private sector. AIDS is also a problem of the private sector. Corruption is also a problem of the private sector. And for the lack of any other available scapegoat, drought, desertification, wind direction and the bad smell in the national assembly caused by all those parliamentarians farting into their seats all day is probably also a problem of the private sector.
Great that we found that out.
Now what do we need this government for again? I kinda forgot what it's actually supposed to be doing, and aparently I'm not the only one. Deputy Finance Minister Tjekero Tweya obviously has a similar problem. So please, folks - explain.
"Or else"... uhm... or something...

Our young people sure deserve our support but it should not be imposed on a particular sector. It should come from all of us. I am sure the government has initiatives or services to improve skills and knowledge of the youth of Namibia but obviously failed in the implementation and evaluation of these initiatives. If government failed its youth than I believe it should not shift blame to the private sector.
I personally believe it should be a partnership between government and the private sector but not an issue of imposing laws as if it was entirely up to the private sector to feed the youth of Namibia with knowledge and skills.
“We urge the private sector to give jobs to all Namibians to maintain peace and stability, for if they don’t, the majority might disturb the peace we all enjoy – This statement is just not appropriate. Who are the majority and we being referred to here? What does peace and stability means to us the majority that we at the same time vow to disturb it. I don’t understand. To me its just intimidation and it’s not necessary in this time of Economic meltdown. We do need our private sector as a partner in building economic stability in Namibia. We don’t want them to feel intimidated.'8
Sometimes I wonder who the guys are writing speeches for our government officials. Believe me if the perception is that they should be true members of SWAPO, ZANU-PF, ANC (please note that they should also be of the right tribe) than we faced with disaster.':-
And finally ,if those we trust to come up with good strategies to empower the nation make such statements what much can we expect of the service they are delivering.

Blame the private sector?
