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

From The Twittersphere

WITH the artist formerly known as Prince now advising the Namibian government, the country has ended up with regions and towns formerly known as …… (to be filled in at your discretion!). In short, the degermination of names, announced along with the creation of a batch of new constituencies, saw tweets twerk – oops, I mean flow – like the Zambezi River. Plus, life in the taxi lane, smartphones and smart people, Big Brother, the language officially known as English, and more …

@Jazmine_mk: How about spending money on our people out there who are really affected by drought rather than on renaming and dividing regions?

@defeated_ninja: Apparently they also renamed my village without even consulting my great grandfather.

@AndreasShaanika: Caprivians or Zambezians deal with it, you got served with a new tattoo.

@StevenCya: Can’t wait to go to Zambezi in December...... EISH, that sounds weird :”D

@PauShipanga1: Maybe the President is trying to reduce the unemployment rate by creating a position for one more Governor. LOL…

@TheLovelyGuitar: Names have meanings, renaming places might just anger our ancestors!

BBA, The Chase

@c_o_thom: So it is now a crime for a young beautiful lady (#Dillish) to remain faithful to her man while she plays her game!

@TKalamore: Dillish is quite intelligent… she’s got unnoticed jokes... very smart... she’s got a lovely sense of humor...

@ChynaJureine: Dillish can twerk. Finally, I saw a Namibian who can twerk.

English 101

@Mr_Ndilula_JR: Typo so bad even autocorrect says “GTFOHWTBS”
