* CAN anybody see the point in spending billions in making electricity available to everybody when those who have never had it can’t afford it. It just makes it unaffordable to thousands more people.[more]
* IT is of vital importance that we watch what we say, especially if we are leaders and heads of this nation. In Namibia we are believed to be one nation now, so please let’s set good examples in order to keep our nation as...[more]
* WHY should young people vote? All we hear from our politicians is how bad the other politician is. The opposition should start winning votes by acting now without bad-mouthing Swapo. They should organise themselves and create...[more]
* SPY laws, tobacco laws and then what next? It seems the Government is looking for reasons to violate every one of my rights! Sirs, you will enter my house over my dead body only. The newspaper calls it ‘draconian’, I call it...[more]
* THE article in Friday’s Namibian about the illicit ‘NWR partnership’ once more reveals the need for an open, tolerant political landscape. Instead of slamming each other with scare tactics and screams, let us engage in open,...[more]
* I AM ecstatic about the new anti-smoking law and look forward to it being implemented so that we can all take a deep gasp of fresh air![more]
* IT is startling to hear of the involvement of foreigners in our politics. A few months back it was reported that the Angolans attended a party-political rally held in the north-central regions. Now it is again reported that the...[more]
* DANGEROUS TAXIS: Mr Magnus Nangombe of Nabta, please try to find a solution to the speeding IVECO taxis on our national roads. This you should do with the Transport section in the Ministry concerned so that the speed on such...[more]
* GOOD day Namibian team. We are concerned about our future at Gobabis because of the municipality. The elders don’t get any discount and the water and electricity bills are too high. We can’t afford it because we are only...[more]
* WHY can’t the Government build us matchbox-type houses as the colonial government did, as this at least was a solution during those years. Everyone had a place called home. Now after Independence we stay in shacks and squatter...[more]
* THE ECN is up for free and chaotic elections whilst the nation expects free and fair ones. People with standard qualifications did apply to keep things in order but in the Sesfontein constituency it’s clearly tough to...[more]
* A VISIT to Oshikango raised the following: It is the busiest place in Namibia, the dirtiest place in Namibia, one of the dustiest places in Namibia, a place where millions are made in a single day in Namibia, and probably the...[more]
* THE sidelining of The Namibian by the ECN has just confirmed my suspicions that ECN, despite preaching transparency and fairness, is practising the opposite. It is clear somebody is clearly trying to enforce the ban imposed on...[more]
* MY fellow citizens, I am one of those that struggle to get a proper roof over my head. Inasmuch as we believe that we have a right to land, let’s be cognisant that we also have a responsibility to uphold our rule of law in that...[more]
n THE gap between rich and poor will be difficult to close in Namibia because we have the economic system of a developed country while Namibia is developing. Exorbitant benefits go to the highly paid in both the private sector...[more]
* I HAVE been driving (cars) since 1983 in more than 10 countries around the globe. Namibians, and in particular Windhoek drivers, are without a shadow of doubt the worst drivers in the world! And I’m not even mentioning the...[more]
* ONE would better serve the country and society by individually and collectively questioning and evaluating decisions made by politicians in our name. This should not be seen as being unpatriotic, but rather as aiding the...[more]
* LET’S be very objective when we talk about land being a birthright. Who does it apply to? Must we go back to the migration of different tribes into Namibia? Let us not forget that some tribes can trace their history in our land...[more]
* I’M one sick and tired youth of Namibia. This country and its wealth belong to politicians only. We, the youth, seem not to exist in the eyes of the Government. Most of us don’t have jobs or else it’s a question of what is your...[more]
* WE the non-struggle kids are watching if the GRN manages to give 5 000 jobs to the so-called struggle kids, the jobs we are all struggling to get. Then they must just expect us as well to come camp in front of their offices....[more]
