From The Twittersphere

CRIME and punishment, the health of the nation, and the plight of women; carers and sharers, burning issues, and out-of-this-world aspirations. Namibians hit the 140 on every-thing from the headlines to hairlines!

@JVamcas: *smh, how someone got only three years for raping a minor. He was even under the influence of illicit drugs.
@crazynellz: Thank you Judge Damaseb for restoring my faith in our judicial system. Now we all know, the courts have no mercy for the victims...
@Nthugbaby: No matter how sad somebody’s upbringing is it does not justify any offence they carry out towards a minor. Never!
@MathildaNam: My colleague and i were just fuming about that. That’s somebody’s life destroyed. Life-long trauma and this ba*ta*d gets to ‘walk’.
@TheMerja: Is this ever going to stop? RT @Nthugbaby: Gobabis women demand the death penalty... after one of their residents was found hacked to death. An act carried out by her live-in bf.
@ForeverNeki: Scary how in Namibia, a lady walking alone at night is probably safer than the one who just broke up with her boyfriend.
@Chikoberry: “What is there about our health system that is not known that we need a commision of inquiry” :D
@I_am_Tangeni: ‘I think we first need a commission of inquiry into commissions of inquiry’ – today (yesterday), SMS page, and I couldn’t agree more with whoever said this.

At Random
@PrincessNdilo: At the Police Station and a dude just got locked up for stealing a bottle of Nivea body lotion... one bottle of Nivea! From Checkers. Real shame!
@Tifu88: So I brought 2 jackets just in case there is that one person who didn’t bring a jacket with to work...
@Ndake_DaRealest: Today I assisted a “disadvantaged” man buy food.What did you do? ...
@euniqness: Phew! At least now we know that the burning ash in Outjo is not volcano related (it turned out to be dumped charcoal)
@BonitaPoetress: This smelly armpit situation should become a national issue!
@benedinev: Any news about the Curiosity rover? I’m planing to migrate to Mars.

Passing Shots
@TemusT: These cold temperatures this time of the year is proof that God loves chubby girls just a lil more.
@kasujja: President Museveni (of Uganda) keeps referring to Mo Farah as ‘that Somali boy running for the British’ ...
@Pwetty_P: The first five days after the weekend are always the hardest.
@Trevornoah: Weaves are the number one cause of hairline genocide.
