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. All these profits are going in the pockets of a few in Bouquets And Brickbats * I AM pleased to hear that Cabinet has responded positively to the proposal of Namibia Dairies to support the industry. 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? (Reference to the children who died in shack fires last week) Our justice system still protects men over women.

EISH, Wednesday was the kind of day that made it easy, for some to think that Wenger was the name of ‘another prophet’ in Namibia. Believe it! Even if you don’t believe the Arsenal manager’s transfer twerking. And, of course, global post-natal depression has set in after the Royal ‘Mufaso-Simba’ moment… Still the ‘collective we’ on Twitter made it through the day!!
@tunomuinyo: In one headline ‘Khomas needs 18 more schools’; in another headline ‘Ramatex land on the verge of sale’. Why can’t our government connect the dots?!?! Ramatex land could be turned into a massive Grade 0-12 school!!!
@Sirkandina: If Tekla Lamek and co can allegedly steal 120 mil from government, we can afford to build more schools on our own. No donations needed.
@GwenLister1: Why didn’t the President tell the sugar daddies to stay away from the young girls in Namibia instead of vice versa?
@Egaralyawo: In #Kavango, the word “kids” is not known, if you happen to go there please use “children”.
@WHKsFinest: Gentrification needs to start in Shandumbala.
@AliciaNgesheya: In Windhoek, these streets will make you feel brand new… >>> RT @Dupree_Dance: Capital city Windhoek is ranked as the cleanest city in Africa.
Cambridge That!
@M_Deepe: Wow, the #RoyalBaby looks like every other newborn.
@alisamupolo: This is just too sentimental, the #RoyalBaby couple too humble, completely down to earth. Even the baby gave a lil wave to the world.
@DonRay140: What is the name of the #RoyalBaby boy? Please Kate and William, don’t be like Beyonce and Jay-Z, please I beeeeeeeeeeggg.
@Muddy_Gsmile: The next reality show: Maria and Dillish in Joburg.
@Homa10i: First an Argentine Pope, now an Argentine manager for Barcelona.
@dongeo80sbaby: @KickOffMagazine always has the breaking news... but how did they miss the signing of the #RoyalBaby on a five-year contract by Arsenal...
@MsElago88: Sooo, I finally looked up who (Arsene) Wenger is. Google is my best friend!
At Random
@JonasHN87: Some people tweet like they have #ChickenPox... There’s nothing wrong with being polite here!!!
@MediocreHarry: But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You just have to ask Hova to be with them.
@laVidaLoca_NA: When kwaitos call you ‘boss’ the worst mistake you can make is think it in any way supposes an inferiority complex on their part.
Passing Shots
@MissAnneDastood: CNN shouldn’t ever hire me. I’ll just keep giving shout-outs on live TV.
@TheMerja: My boyfriend’s secretary forgot to remind him that today is our one month anniversary. Wicked witch.
@DrunkOnChicken: Guys, I appreciate the compliments, no really, I do… but my tweets are not biblical… you don’t have to manual RT me all the time...
