Frontlining on Twitter

THE fast and the furious, the sad and the seri- ous; the ubiquitous weave, canoes and yachts, and other passing shots – Namibian tweeps break it down 140 style.

@Tuliz: #StruggleKids have been moved to Ndilimani farm. I hope there won’t be another demonstration by struggle kids kids in com- ing years.
@Uiisira: Once we “Struggle Kids” get our payout from the Namibian GRN, I’m buyin rimz and an Ipad with my money ...
@Nthugbaby: People that suffer most are the ones who most easily laugh about themselves. It is a form of intelligence needed for survival.
@shakasisulu: Breaks my ... heart. I know the need for old age homes & hospices but I don’t get it. People should live with their people. Isn’t that family??
@NaobebseKind: I see the calls on death penalty have subsided. Just check, another killing, another small march, then
everybody forgets again. LAND OF THE BRAVE
@Simoni_haUramba: A dele- gation of 28 people in total. NINE athletes only!!! #Olympics
@kondja: Yeah... Olufuko lwaambalantu (help from Ombalantu)! We are (more) down to earth with traditions than any other Wambo sub-tribe! 

Pop Culture
@OlaviMunango: If only Namibian fans and artists where as united as it is in America, then the entertainment industry would be rock solid #BET Awards
@Foofee09: First time a Namibian has lasted through so many nominations. Respect to Lady May, and her juju #BigBroAfrica
@NdeshiPKay: Voting Lady May non-stop #BigBroAfrica
@Ajax_Tanga: My last airtime gone to save a fellow Namibian #MayNATION

Food For Thought
@HelviKovambo: Not having manners doesn’t make you cool.
@PoppyIsMyName: Good manners are at- tractive!!

Passing Shots
@Albi_Me: Some people look like they’ve been locked in a donut shop their whole lives.
@WHKsFinest: The amount of weave on the |Nigerian chick’s head, can weave half the girls in Oshikuku. (on Goldie in Big Brother StarGame)
@nellyashipala: When I become rich and I’m talking motsepe rich, I want my autobiography to be called ‘From canoe in Kavango River to yacht in the Atlantic’.
