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

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. 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. You interview professionals and internationals on those
Food For Thought * MINISTRY of Education, in order to address the shortages of teachers at primary schools why don’t you consider employing us who hold a diploma in lifelong learning and community education for teaching posts? We also did health education

YESTERDAY was Monday. That is all. OK, let me try again! For some Namibian tweeps Monday was a goat of a day, others struggled to get to grips with ‘socks syndrome’, or mulled the advantages of a life in religion, or pondered granny’s advice… Still, at the end of the day, Monday was a day that needed direction!

@charlesmukwaso: In Namibia, if you want to get a murderer/rapist to get a stiffer sentence or (be) denied bail, plant a stolen goat at the crime scene.

@Just_Kanara: Welcome to Namibia where life is similar to #SanAndreas …

@MathildaNam: And I wonder how they plan on explaining to the elderly in the Zambezi region that it’s no longer known as the Caprivi region...

@Liberty_Endemic: Why are all the lights on in the Sanlam building (in Windhoek) on a Sunday night?

@The_Awesome101: Why the kids in my street are playing ‘sex sex my papire’ on a Sunday is beyond me... The world is really broken...

At Random

@SugaryOblivion: All I see on Facebook are 21 year olds getting engaged and I can’t even manage to get my socks to match. *sighs*

@TheMerja: Ladies, give the men in your friendzone a sense of dignity and stop calling them “bro”.

@ashantile: You do not sweep the floor at night, it brings bad luck #GrannysAdvice

@justadey: The kind of exam that makes a saint wanna swear like an Irish sailor!!! Ag nie man!!!

@MelyissaIsrael: Sometimes I wish I could drive like a taxi driver! How do they get to be in front of the traffic jam when they found me here?

BBA, The Chase

@AndyMadaki: As much as we’d like to trash BBA (Big Brother Africa) as crap, they’ve had some educative tasks and yes some unruly moments. Looks like a normal world to me.

@taye_rafkid: Dillish looks edible.

@Muddy_Gsmile: Am learning much from Dillish. *ignores the eating part* . My fashion taste is on point now. Wolololo...

Passing Shots

@MrBigDreamzz: The Republic of Oshikuku >>> RT @Questionnier: Which African country will you love to visit? #QnA

@_YasheBabe_: Girls be having names like Paris, Asia, China, London but look like Zimbabwe, Congo and Kenya...

@SiyandaWrites: I’m wearing shorts in the evening because I will not be dictated to by an institution like ‘the weather’. #freedom

@Uiisira: There is serious money in religion and life insurance...! !! I’m joining (the) Jehovah’s Witnesses to sell Jesus and life insurance as a package deal.
