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. Look at the prices of the local chicken. All these profits are going in the pockets of a few in
Bouquets And Brickbats * I AM pleased to hear that Cabinet has responded positively to the proposal of Namibia Dairies to support the industry. 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? (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

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.

Chasing the dots ... Sugar Daddy Politics by Chris Smith
I was cursing NamPower when they cut off our power for 17 hours a couple of Saturdays ago and then saw a pile of things I had kept promising myself I would read again! So it was and add in a few fruity articles from the following days I realised that despite a couple of highly pessimistic policy and direction thoughts from a couple of years prior to Independence, many views from that time were remarkably optimistic and correct.

Hagenomics for the People by Chris Smith
PLAYING chicken and milking the people. Add in school ownership, rotting hospitals, killing the flower business, the BCI joke and now some goat who wants to take a successful game farm and hand it over for execution by government. Throw in “secret” water deals and hidden promises of subsidies for wind farms plus an overpriced dam that will benefit no Namibian; this is our future?
