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. 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.

From The Twittersphere
BABIES, brothers, ‘Born Frees’, BBA, bathrooms … One way or another the ‘B’ factor seemed to dominate Monday on Twitter timelines. Go figure. That too! Yip, if you can decode the “three significant fingers” factor, you get the Monday Einstein award.
@tukondjeni: The Ministry of Trade should educate the public on Trademarks, Patents and Intellectual Property in general, it’s nation-building...
@BefreeNicky: The dude killed his girlfriend in front of her daughter with a knife, and they grant him 1 000 dollars bail, *sigh Namibia*
@RachelNdamona: Calls to Norway cost less than local calls. Tah! :’D
@grantwyeth: Sucks that there’s no stream of the Afghanistan vs Namibia (cricket) game. It’s bright and sunny in Windhoek today. No rain delays.
@bubbs07: At some point, Swakopmund municipality ran out of tar and so they just decided to interlock the rest of the town.
@ElvisEndjala: But why do they lock Oshakati Service station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?
At Random
@ThatAnnicaChick: There’s no such thing as an eating disorder in my culture.
@Bigg_Phill_: But if we are Born Frees then you are BBCs ‘Born Before Computers’.
@Pendazano_gbb: Go to a bar and watch the #BBATheChase evictions and you will be surprised by how much the dudes follow the show.
@LilMisAngie: The threats they make in Nigerian movies though... “I will squeeze you” LoL.. wt*…
@ChilliKong: I want to get a tattoo of me, all over my body... only taller!
@StevenCya: Why is it that the troubleshooting sections of user manuals address every problem except the one you have?
@LinahKambongi: In Namibia, you better know how to round off to “three significant fingers” whatever that is...
@AuntyKauna: I say no to Hunters, it just doesn’t listen…
Family Affairs
@KapanduH: “Love your parents. We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are growing old.”
@The_Awesome101: My eight-year-old lil’ bro travelled alone from the North to Windhoek by public transport for an interview... #Proud!!!
@MathildaNam: My brother has never heard of the Fantasy premier league... And I’m now honestly questioning the legitimacy of his origins.
Passing Shots
@EbukaAkara: A baby’s laughter is one of the most beautiful sounds you will ever hear. Unless it’s 3am. And you’re home alone. And you don’t have a baby.
@Tau_Amour: I have a ‘get-rich-slow’ scheme... and it’s working perfectly!
@Siya_Thatguy: Windows 8 is the Yeezus of operating systems. Does a whole lot of things no one needs or understands.
