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.

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. In this cont Bouquets And Brickbats * ALEXACTUS Kaure, your column in Friday’s newspaper opened my eyes. One hardly finds impartial case study analysers in Namibia. Let’s not destroy the Polytechnic’s strong foundation (Tjivikua) as yet. At least wait until the transf SMS Of The Day * WHY doesn’t NBC listen when they are criticised? The little red chairs on Good Morning Namibia have done their part and are dirty especially at the arm rests. Please listen for once.

ELECTION day in Zimbabwe, cardio moments (totally unrelated to the Zim elections!), Nicki Minaj and Ndeitunga, Oprah and Oshakati, brains and brawn, the working life, tombo and French cooking… Yip, a Twitter Wednesday as scrambled as a plate of eggs!

@Ndeshipaxc: Wenger is more like Mugabe… stepping down is the last thing on his mind.
@Lyla411: Don’t know why everyone is getting so worked up over the Zim elections... Mugabe is gonna win, whether he wins or loses the election.
@UNICEFAfrica: Well done #Botswana, #Ethiopia, #Kenya, #Namibia, #Rwanda, #Zambia and #Zimbabwe, for cutting #AIDS-related deaths by half since 2005!

@iCumQuik: Pay day was very shortlived, on to the next one.
Passing Shots
@iam_viktor: Tjoh, Nicki Minaj has Kupferberg Dump dirty lyrics!
