ON cutting down a fig tree at the new Leo offices, I propose to the Directorate of Forestry in the Ministry of Environment to make cutting down of any tree illegal unless permission was granted by the authorities (municipality,...
ARE we truly Namibian? I mean do we care about our sports, mainly soccer? I don’t think we do because if we did, why would the Brave Gladiators play to an empty stadium? Let’s not only support Bucs and Stars but also our national...
HOW come the media permanently harasses politicians and government officials about corruption and ignore it in their own ranks. Selective morality? That’s unacceptable. They should be specially vigilant to defend the moral high...
WE the taxpayers have already wasted loads of money bailing out Air Namibia and other parastatals over the years. I say get competent managers to run these companies and put the taxpayers’ money to better use.

* MAKING a positive difference in Namibia has become so hard for individuals that it is disheartening to mention. We are becoming such a barbaric nation. Shame on us all for forgetting what real development is about. You name it!...
* ANYONE who has not been a teacher does not realise that the time spent teaching in the classroom is only 40 per cent of the job. I was a teacher but left the profession as I found it too stressful. I now run my own business and...
* I LIVE in Pionierspark. What is happening nowadays is that small planes are flying very low posing a danger to residents. The noise is unbearable. Previously they used to fly to the PP Cemetery before turning. Civil Aviation...
* TAXI drivers: We have legs, we will walk when we want to. Why must you hoot at every walking person? We know where taxis stop. Why must you run to drag us to your taxis, why scream and shout at people?
* PEOPLE complain about their dirty towns: Who made them dirty? Rather teach people not to litter = problem solved! In the meantime, let all residents help to clean the town/village/ area!
n GOVERNMENT of Namibia, bring back performance evaluation and appraisal systems in the public service. If not forget about effective and efficient service.

IS there nothing the government can do to protect the unfortunate who do not own houses from exploitation? Room to let N$1 500, one bedroom flat N$3 000, two bedroom flat N$4 000 and 3 bedroom house N$8 500 is ridiculous!
* WHEN I read that E(vilastus) Kaaronda has said Germans should go to hell, I am afraid and feel we need common sense here and a bit more diplomacy and sensitivity. It seems that those who spoke in public on this subject are...
* WHY are people so stupid and ignorant? Smashing empty beer bottles on the Vineta north beach! Think before you do such a foolish thing! Would you (the guilty ones) like it if your feet were ripped open by glass shards, to have...
* WHAT does the Namibia Football Association (NFA), as the powerhouse of football in Namibia, do about supporters who bring the beautiful game into disrepute? What do teams have in place for unruly hooligans at stadiums?
* IT is a fact that alcohol and tobacco users are the Southern African Customs Union’s cash cows. So why try to kill the goose that lays the golden egg? They should tax people who buy gas guzzlers, have useless beauty treatments...
* WHEN is Namibia going to get an advertising standards authority? From witchdoctors claiming to cure anything and everything, MTC claiming megabyte per second Internet speeds and Pupkewitz Megabuild’s ‘You name it, we’ve got...
* WHY do political parties campaign on Independence Day? We are so tired of seeing party colours on Independence Day rather than our national colours which are very beautiful.
* FIFTY-FIVE per cent of us are jobless. Now we have invested in eight fighter jets. Insanity? The old megalomania? Or simply a payback for gifts and favours to our elite?
* I WANT the Government of the day to enact a law that will compel subsequent governments to be shown the door if they fail to adequately address the high Gini-coefficient in Namibia, within a period of one year or two.

* THE only way to stop theft and corruption is for parents to teach their children to be honest at all times. Then the parents must also lead by example.
* INSPIRATION comes from nowhere, but leads to somewhere! What we, as...
