Frontlining on Twitter by
I HOPE Namibian tweeps have a stake in Fri- day; too many people seemed to give Thursday the HHP treatment and “walk on by”. And no, this is not a reference to the taxi strike! It was a street-shy, rather than a streewise, day on Twitter timelines; a day that bleated rather than bellowed. But hella, it still hung in there for 24 hours .

Alexactus T Kaure

The Rehabilitation of Robert Mugabe by
Gwynne Dyer

ROBERT Mugabe, the president of Zimbabwe, is now 89 years old but he is running for another five-year term in the elections on 31 July. Perhaps his optimism is justified, given that his mother died at 100, but why is he doing it?

The Moral of the Story by
To say that the month thus far has been tough and testing would be an understatement. Ailment or death struck close to home. A few times in short succession.

In times of such great tumult it is common to review the life that has just past, or the one that was tested or our own, for that matter. Such serious life events invariably cause us to search for purpose and meaning.

‘Local’ Milk is a Pure Luxury by
YOUR report in The Namibian of Thursday 18 July 2013, presented us the sad fact that economical milk production in our dry country is not possible on a sustainable basis. Thus, we can say it is a luxury, most expensive and risky and, as with Air Namibia, we should do away with it.
