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?

YESTERDAY kind of felt like the calm before the storm, the type of no-stress days socks like, or asparagus eaters loathe; a day that forgot to put on its weave, a day that saw mosquitoes revel in home advantage… in short, more of a Lucky Star than a ‘thank your lucky stars’ day! On Twitter timelines, anyway.
@tori_namene: Active Citizenship is the future of Democracy!
@MekondjoLegend: Namibia being a developing country, as youth there are many ways we can help her develop.
@MsOlga21: Can you imagine writing a Physics exam in French? Ja (yes), that’s how hard English is for some of these kids.
@theonlySilent: Kama, Zimbabwe is not an African problem, it’s just a headache... Lm$ao, these newspapers *smh*
@LizNailenge: This is funny! >>> RT @avonbookshop (in Harare): Come and buy a novel or magazine to read in the voting queue tomorrow.
@th_fish_ur: Logged on to FB and it’s a weather report all over the place. Jennifer Moetie, watch your back...
@Juliushauka: If Big Brother Africa is anything like you people make it out to be, then Windhoek is the BBA house.
At Random
@s_meameno: Or finding Shaduka maybe? >>> RT @TiahDavids: Every time I watch ‘Nikita’, I feel like investigating Kandara’s death.
@elton_emvula: Dankie Botswana for sale… Comes with an MP3 CD Player, rims, petrol and engine oil…
@bubbs07: It’s amazing how much of my jewellery and accessories just grew legs and walked off during this weekend that I’ve spent with my sisters.
@HTuuda: If only I read my science books though, my macking skills would have been top top!
@bonezweezy_gbb: Tuhafeni, don’t forget to wash behind the ears... #IshMemeUsed2Say
@Mikeiiyambo: I had to #@%*ing climb a pole to tweet this. So if I’m texting you, feel special.
Life Is A Mystery
@Mystique_99: I just don’t understand, why do they want me to be their friend, why do they want to know me? Just why? Why do people eat asparagus…
@The_Awesome101: How do you expect your socks not to get rebellious and get lost if you call them ‘iistrofe’ (socks!) all the time!?
@NtomboManze: Guys, these weaves with a fringe that look like a mushroom/thatched roof, are they the in thing or hairstyle gone wrong?
@SirTanga: Lucky Star is better than sushi...
Passing Shots
@Nude_Oyster: Why do people say ‘’I saw it with my own eyes”. Do they sometimes use other people’s eyes?
@professy92: Walking behind a group of girls with no ass is like standing outside a cemetery… a lifeless club with no music!
@chillikong: I’m grumpier than a three-year-old ballerina with a wedgie. I think I need my coffee.
@nakablackksheep: Idols SA judges won’t make it in Namibia. They’ll be labelled as haters. Leghetto will meet them at their offices. One at a time.
