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.

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?

LOVE, life and taxis. And petrol increases. Namibian tweeps romance the day, do some subtexting from Platform Nine and Three Quarters, wish they could bend it like Beckham, and wonder if their Mom has taken ‘Orange Is The New Black’ to extremes!

@omfive: Petrol hike again!! There goes my tax relief!!
@Duruhk: Petrol going up all the time is becoming abnormal...
@BefreeNicky: Watching ‘Talk of the Nation’ is like walking down the street and bumping into a Dementor, it sucks all the happiness out of you.
@ereboy41: Shout-out to the taxis that feed you with good music en route to your destination when classes have made you hungry with tedious lectures
@PropheticHimba: Are relationships between Unam students and taxi drivers really symbiotic? #JustAsking
@Ndapwa_ndula: Do dogs in other suburbs of Windhoek bark the same way as dogs in Tura? They’re at it all night.
People, Og!
@S_boh: This one is singing the loudest at church but she owes me money *smh*
@iam_viktor: There always has to be that one woman eating chicken in the back of the cab.
@KapanduH: I’m going to sit in my garden after this stressful day and talk to the spinach and tomatoes. People are overrated.
@TaixaS: Trust my Mom to bring like five thousand oranges and naartjies from Tsumeb… *smh*

@LarsShinyemba: Romance is going to KFC with your girl and sharing a Streetwise 2.
@shetunamandje: Guys still wear silk trunkies????
@MelyissaIsrael: In my opinion, it’s much more romantic to get money for fuel than it is to get flowers.
@YNM101: Perfect girlfriend = should have read all the Harry Potter books because (it’s) great conversation!
Passing Shots

@kavangosfinest: To be honest there are times I wish I was part of the Beckhams. Like now that I’m in this bakkie going to Nkurenkuru.
@lifecoachfit: Twitter: where you count on thousands of strangers to keep your darkest secrets from the 10 people you know in RL (real life).
@laVidaLoca_NA: Not even the Emirates Cup wants to hang at the Emirates Stadium trophy cabinet anymore. It says, and I quote “it gets really lonely there”.
