SMS Of The Day * MINISTRY of Gender and Child Welfare, TEARS are rolling down as I write this SMS. The killing of women in Namibia is now like reciting a poem. Are we really getting the protection we deserve while women not being treated as part of this c

SMS Of The Day * I THINK Paulus ‘The Rock’ Ambunda lost his belt because of this promoter and trainer. How can a world champion still be training at the Katutura Youth Complex where there is not enough equipment. I think they must follow the example of Ha
Food For Thought * NAMIBIA Dairies are unable to match low prices of imported milk and this ultimately means the consumer will have to pay more for local milk. Look at the prices of the local chicken. All these profits are going in the pockets of a few in

Food For Thought * JACKY Asheeke was so right with her last column- why are the fathers of the dead children not being prosecuted? (Reference to the children who died in shack fires last week) Our justice system still protects men over women. In this cont
Bouquets And Brickbats * ALEXACTUS Kaure, your column in Friday’s newspaper opened my eyes. One hardly finds impartial case study analysers in Namibia. Let’s not destroy the Polytechnic’s strong foundation (Tjivikua) as yet. At least wait until the transf

Crumbs

For every person who walks in and out of our lives,

they always leave something behind.

They leave something with you.

Whether you think of them and relate to that person or not, their mark on your life remains.

Teenagers Today

As a young person, I’m concerned about the well-being of other people and teenagers in particular, because I believe that I can make a difference in at least one person’s life, if not every person’s life. I know this might sound boring to some but what happened to the teachings and beliefs of our late great grandparents?

The Loss of a Star

A star was born but now it’s gone. The memories stay but you can’t let go. The time is now and now only. What used to make your day has now turned into a nightmare.

The changes in a person were once wonderful until you find out their true colours. The first question you will ask yourself is what have I done wrong. But instead you should realise that it was not you but them.

Guard Your Mouth

Once upon a time, there was a boy who used to accumulate very bad grades at school and when his mother found out, instead of yelling at him she told him that he could do anything if he believed in himself and that only he could do it better. From that time, he did better in school and learned to accustom himself with people who brought light to his life.

How Appreciative are We?

So many times we tend to take for granted the things we have. Our parents go to the ends of the earth to ensure that we are happy, that we go to the best schools and that we get the best, but do we ever thank them for all this? Do we ever take the time to appreciate the little we have?

Intellectual Conversation

There are days I crave for intellectual conversation.

Where my mind manufactures lengthy words,

in the hope that somebody understands it.

I get this powerful sensation,

an adrenalin rush to my brain.

Pain is Not Love

Nangula knew it was wrong but she wanted it anyway.

She knew he had to go but her heart yearned for him to stay.

He stayed and it was the best night of her life... Or so she thought.

Two weeks later, she feels weak

She knows what has come

The one thing she dreaded most

Her exceptional night of passion left her knocked up, she’s pregnant!

She runs to him and shares the news

Thoughts On Love

I’ve been thinking about this whole love thing... About how love is portrayed as this overwhelming uncontrollable desire to be with someone. It is typically expressed by phrases like “I will do anything for you”, “I can’t live my life without you”, or my personal favourite “I love you more than anything.”

A Friendship’s Sad End

Izzy and I met in primary school and became good friends instantly. Over the years, we grew even closer. We decided to apply to the same high school and we were both excited to find out that we were going to attend the same school.
