THE Brave and the Beautiful gave members of the Twitter chattering class a fair run for their money over the weekend, with beauty winning at the end of the day. Yes, Miss Namibia 2013 proved to be a top trender on Saturday. Otherwise it was the witty and the wise on Friday as tweeps had some proverbial fun with … proverbs, of course!



@2ChainlezChainz: Shaduka too** >> RT @TheeNdambe: Am I the only one not watching #MissNamibia2013?

@PauShipanga1: Hopefully NamPol isn’t at the show (Miss Namibia). A warrant of arrest for all the contestants!

@Hugi_bear: This guy is like ‘Miss Namibian is very nice’, I didn’t know The Namibian hosts beauty pageants.

@Mr_Ndilula_JR: What’s the use of paying our TV licence if we can’t even watch Miss Namibia? Are we paying it to watch the news or what? mxim

@sarahnelao: Maara, what kind of national broadcaster doesn’t air Miss Namibia??? That’s it...

@LuisMunana: People are really excited about #MissNamibia, ne...

@MsBunny: Tuyakula Musheko for Miss Namibia *throws kfc bones*

@DavidTocks: Michelle McLean..... What a woman! How can one woman have such class all by herself...

@Soe_koh: How Michelle McLean still looks that gorgeous... I don’t know. Beautiful for days :)!



At Random

@TemusT: Saw a ‘still cant afford your dream car?’ loan advert today. Why would you wanna take a loan for a car you can’t afford?

@Joikar: I wonder if any Nigerian woman has named her daughter Dillish since May 26th...

@Mr_Mumbala: Big ups, Brave Warriors!! We did indeed put up a good fight.



#DictatorProverbs

@KattMagz: All’s well that’s rigged well #dictatorproverbs

@elaborate_me: Easy come, never go...

@SiyandaWrites: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to count votes and remove all doubt.

@seanamos: Show me a man with only one bank account and I will show you a man lacking creativity.

@snadzz: A rigged ballot paper on election day keeps a new president away.

@KattMagz: Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to rig votes and he’ll be president for life.

@KMalatji: If you want something done right you gotta rig it yourself...

@sboshmafu: Keep your friends close and your enemies prime ministers.



Passing Shots

@crazynellz: We are at the point in the wedding video where the wedding march is playing, this lady in the salon asks, “Is that the national anthem?”

@Call_Me_Kipi: The problem with drinking and driving is that trees defend themselves very well…

@ThatDJHaf: My brother drinks Amstel Lager; we think he is adopted…

@Playing_Dad: My kid threatened to hold her breath until I gave her dessert. She’s now passed out on the kitchen floor. I don’t negotiate with terrorists.
