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.

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?

When is the right time?

When it comes to sex, there are a lot of assumptions that are made by both men and women about how the opposite sex (seemingly as a whole) views certain things. Do you believe in the three date rule? Steve Harvey’s 90 day rule? Or are you more traditional and believe sex is best left for after marriage?We took to our Facebook page to find out...

After you get married to your partner. These things of people just having sex because they’ve been together for some months or years is rubbish. The Bible says “do not engage yourselves in sexual immoralities because you will be harshly punished.” Let us not abuse God’s mercy please!
Innocent Faith Cencil Fransy
When both partners are ready for it. And I guess it’s best after marriage. Some people are only in relationships for sex, after that they dump each other. No marriage, no sex.
Dennis Bantwan
Immediately when she says “yes, I love you too.” Time is money!
Hilia Ndeitaneka Shatipamba
Biblically, sex is only for married people but often we fall prey to heavy evil temptation that leads us astray. I applaud those who make it to marriage without giving into temptation. Having said that, I think in the world today, one can have sex when you feel ready, but taking all the consequences of sex into consideration. You should also ask yourself why you want to have sex because you cannot just have it without a reason. Indeed sex should be respected because that’s where life begins, so one should plan for the act.
Ndeshi Jameson
Most definitely after marriage. It is holy and should be treated as such, but we live in a new day and age where people confuse love for lust. That’s why relationships don’t last long because women are giving men the benefits of marriage and vice versa! The word of God says that your body is the temple of God and that you should stay away from sexual immorality. Celibacy is power!
Shilongo Nangula Jacobina
After marriage? Why do we have to be hypocritical about real things? We all know no one waits for that, what if one is never meant to get married? Or only marries in their 40s? You should engage in sex when you feel you are both ready for it.
Shorty Jc Abraham
When you are both sure that your relationship is strong and matured enough to handle it.
Natangwe Frans Angula
Any time. As long as both of you are ready and comfortable doing it.
Paulinus T-pain Nepando
After both parties learn the definition of sex, as well as the positive and negative outcomes of sex.
Selma Wilberforce Kondo
When you feel ready. Not pressured. It’s your choice and if you’re sure it’s the right time to do it then you need to be comfortable and matured enough to make this decision. You should be emotionally ready, not just physically.
Wosman Viynoh Hamunyela
You can have sex on the first date and he/she ends up marrying you. You can also wait for a year and get dumped after sex. To me it doesn’t really matter, do it whenever you get the chance.
Reinhold Mdakadaka Shamba
There is no time like the ‘right time’ anymore. Sex happens the very first night out together, when the couple has consumed the right amount of alcohol.
Jones N. Tozza
The ‘right’ time can be misunderstood by many. My opinion is that it is only when all parties are happy, this also includes being in accordance with the laws and cultural norms.
Starborn-d Busybee
During the honeymoon is the best time.
Rockefeller Gregg Ukongo
Sex is not only about jumping into bed with your partner, it is to be done responsibly and respectfully. Both partners must be ready and both should know their HIV status. They should also be ready to take responsibility of the outcome.
Mtuleni Sandra
After six months, when you have gotten to know your partner well enough. When you know your partner’s HIV status and when your partner is ready.
William Willa
After three months. When you’ve learned what type of person she really is. It’s better than doing it on the first date and regretting it.
Lukas Namupala Popyeni-Armstrong
Sex mostly depends on a woman. Most guys date women they’re comfortable having sex with, meaning physically they’re ready to have sex at the beginning of the relationship. So the best time would be when they’re emotionally comfortable with each other.
Praisy Danniel
When you are truly in love, ready and know the person well enough, including their HIV status.
Paules Innocent Hatutale
Sex is part of confirming your relationship. So you can do it as soon as possible after both of you have agreed. Just to make sure that your love is strong.
Karo Jason D Mweetako
When you are both ready and trust each other.
