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 Food For Thought * SO the Zimbabwe elections were free and peaceful and not free and fair? Bouquets And Brickbats * NURSES at Katutura Hospital must stop wearing those big plastic sandals at work because they are not the official working shoes. We want to see you looking smart and beautiful with your full uniform. SMS Of The Day * THIS nation is in dire need of a massive conference on housing. When we experienced a crisis in the education sector a crisis-control brain-storming conference was organised which resulted in the best deal ever for the Namibian child, nam Food For Thought * BOURGEOISIE has become a daily occupation if not the order of the day of the upper-echelons, President Hifikepunye Pohamba we urge you to revisit this unpatriotic geocentricism among your staff and the well-connected, for everybody to r Bouquets And Brickbats * COMMISSIONER of Prisons, can you please explain the strategies you use to appoint officers to certain positions? It is my observation that you are being fed with wrong information then you just promote individuals without making p 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.

The restrictions which support the industry by reducing competition to ensure the survival of the industry is a SMS Of The Day * CEO’s golden handshakes. Somewhere on our statute books there must be a provision that if a board of directors suspends/dismisses a CEO without due regard to legal provision (substantive/procedural law) such board must carry the costs for Food For Thought * JACKY Asheeke was so right with her last column- why are the fathers of the dead children not being prosecuted?

THE weekend that was … was cold. It was windy. It was dry. But you can count on Namibian Twitter timelines never being dry. Well, rarely. There’s always that one person, or two, or three ... with a watering can! Today, from yachts to sandwiches, from taxis to calamari to beer, and more.
@urojiofor: Whenever I’m late, these Windhoek taxis always give me a city tour as if I don’t know Windhoek already.
@allyangula: Loving the Windhoek Lager underdog advert on DStv, inspiring!
@the_General10: Dear God, please don’t forget to turn the heater on in Windhoek… Amen.
@ngurare: :-) In defence of Oshikuku, it has the most hardworking girls and boys in Namibia, you can’t drive there without stopping!!
@knowledgekatti: I wish more leaders in Namibia could join us on twitter. And share information with us on a regular basis… right?
@Simy_gwaMtata: There is an equilibrium (in the) relationship between Windhoek and Oshakati… every day. There is always one going to Oshakati and one coming to Windhoek!
@05sVeryOwn: Don’t miss Windhoek at all... Life in Ongwediva is so easy, and stress free!!
@crazyAssteroid: Tura sometimes reminds me of Ondangwa without the cattle.
At Random
@ForeverNeki: And that is how I manoeuvred to the front row in a packed taxi from the back to avoid this guy who has a dyed moustache :/
@osHo__o: I want rich people problems. Like where to park my yacht.
@RudeKandi: I guess watering cans are now a necessity. #DryDM #DryPersonality #DryLife
@Blaar_GBB: If people can bathe in milk, I can definitely bathe in beer!?
Not MasterChef!
@bubbs07: Hey @Cristiano (Ronaldo), I like calamari; unless you don’t, then I totally hate it. We have everything in common.
@TashiaKalondo: Bloody Namibian establishments and chilling red wine. @#*$ you very much. #StickToWhatYouKnow
@ThatAnnicaChick: If you would just worry less, you’d realise that any leftover can be turned into a sandwich.
@HelviKovambo: May I please have a dish… of hailstones and thunder? Thank you. >>> RT
@IamBlunderLess: Cooking up a storm.
@Ajax_May: Meanwhile, on Facebook people are having lunch… I guess? --» “had a beautiful launch with my family”.
Passing Shots
@ChilliKong: Lmao, when I was in primary school, looking up the word “sex” in the dictionary was like watching porn.
@ItsFunnyLife: I just can’t take this long distance relationship anymore. Fridge, you’re coming to my room.
@Mister_Ibu: The three arms of Government… The execuTHIEVES, the LegisLOOTERS and the judiSHARING… They thieve, loot and they share…
