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.

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 Royal baby had not been evicted at the time of writing this… Oops, wrong event! … Eish, it was one of those royally confusing Mondays when #RoyalBaby, #BibleQuiz and #BBATheChase were among the top trending topics in Namibia and South Africa. OK, let me try again! Namibia’s Dillish was not evicted from Big Brother, people were waiting expectantly for the arrival of the Royal Baby, and the shortest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 117. Otherwise, Namibian tweeps did what NamTweeps do… grab the day by the tail and tell it like it is!

@Kondja: I hope Minister Namoloh will also take note of our housing issues.
@Shipululo: Keeping people without integrity (as in honesty) is like allowing ponds of dirty water to remain – mosquitoes breed therein...
@Simplysiku: I’ve seen the thirst turn brother against brother and modest men in to squanderers of their meagre fortunes. Such is it’s power.

BBA, The Chase
@Nekelwa: @Dillish_lishy is such a beautiful human being, full of flaws and amazing strengths. A true African woman #PerfectlyImperfect #BBATheChase
@LarsShinyemba: Dillish looks like hot kapana.
@alajoke: Awwwww my oyibo (Bassey) is gone. I’ll miss my Shakespeare from Yorkshire.
@MrBigDreamzz: Mbwae, this one girl on BBA confuses me. During the week her hair is short but on Sundays it’s long.
Passing Shots
@Uiisira: Eish you silly Namibians ...!!! How do you expect to get a construction tender if you have never reached level 9 on Tetris...?
