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

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

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

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 …

Chasing the dots ... The Devil in Divide and Rule? by Chris Smith
It is an inescapable “fact” that worldwide there seems to be an increasing distrust and dislike of governments and their players especially as economic weakness exposes both their inability to solve problems but perhaps worse, how they and their self interest are actually a large part of the problem! The streets are overflowing with dissatisfaction and even worse rebellious intention, all unfortunately without a clue as to alternatives.

Oneal gets the boot by Rukee Kaakunga
Considered by many as arrogant, bossy and even aloof at times, Motswana housemate Oneal had his Chase cut short as he was evicted on Sunday. Although an entertainer back at home, Oneal spent very little time bonding or creating relationships with his fellow housemates, saving that privilege for his love interest Feza.

BABIES, brothers, ‘Born Frees’, BBA, bathrooms … One way or another the ‘B’ factor seemed to dominate Monday on Twitter timelines. Go figure. That too! Yip, if you can decode the “three significant fingers” factor, you get the Monday Einstein award.

THE Brave and the Beautiful gave members of the Twitter chattering class a fair run for their money over the weekend, with beauty winning at the end of the day. Yes, Miss Namibia 2013 proved to be a top trender on Saturday. Otherwise it was the witty and the wise on Friday as tweeps had some proverbial fun with … proverbs, of course!

YESTERDAY kind of felt like the calm before the storm, the type of no-stress days socks like, or asparagus eaters loathe; a day that forgot to put on its weave, a day that saw mosquitoes revel in home advantage… in short, more of a Lucky Star than a ‘thank your lucky stars’ day! On Twitter timelines, anyway.

Sulu and Annabel exit ‘The Chase’ by Rukee Kaakunga
After more than two months in the Big Brother Africa’s ‘The Chase’, Zambian taxi driver Sulu and Kenya’s pretty Annabel bid their fans and fellow housemates farewell. Both played a mean game and gained their fair share of support across the continent.

Overcoming violence through love by Nomhle Kangootui

YEAH! Namibian tweeps were over the moon about Sunny Boy’s performance at the Big Brother live eviction show in Johannesburg on Sunday night. The Namibian artist turned on the shine (and I’m not talking about his outfit here!) and worked the audience in a performance showcased across Africa. Just a few of the “proudly Namibian” tweets. Plus Nando’s eviction from BBA, withering comments about the weather, plus the usual (if not abnormal) fusion of comments about life, the universe and everything.

‘The Chase’ is over for queen of swagger Pokello and lively Bassey by Rukee Kaakunga
Sunday saw Africa bid farewell to two of the most colourful housemates in BBA’s ‘The Chase’, when Pokello and Bassey got the boot. Pokello, who had survived the eviction gallows for a record six weeks before she eventually ran out of luck, was certainly a name that many did not expect to hear as an evictee. Bassey on the other hand, joined several housemates whose demise came as a direct result of a Head of House swap. It’s quite safe to say both Chase mates had their share of fans who did not

THE Royal baby had not been evicted at the time of writing this… Oops, wrong event! … Eish, it was one of those royally confusing Mondays when #RoyalBaby, #BibleQuiz and #BBATheChase were among the top trending topics in Namibia and South Africa. OK, let me try again! Namibia’s Dillish was not evicted from Big Brother, people were waiting expectantly for the arrival of the Royal Baby, and the shortest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 117. Otherwise, Namibian tweeps did what NamTweeps do… grab the
