* SAVE the nation. Can anyone tell me, what are the duties of supervisors in the GRN? Although I’m one of them seriously I don’t know my job. Why? I often find leave forms on my table, staff already gone without approval, made remarks end up in donkey ears. Attendance register only for on/off duty, what about in between? Overall what power especially with civilians do we have to enforce our work? Food For Thought* LET’S help our City Council to keep our Windhoek city clean. Let’s stop throwing papers in the streets. Thanks to the City Council for keeping our city clean. – Baloyi* MINISTER of Finance, does Namibia have foreign reserves?

Premier Wen Jiabao on Sunday described the mission as a “giant leap in China’s space exploration programme”. This milestone, coming as it does, two days before the 59th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, projects a powerful reality that once China has come into your view, it is hard not to notice it everywhere. And so, we salute this great nation and say: welcome home, space heroes! Welcome home home, Shenzhou 7 – Harold E \\GuiobIn And From The Regions* I AM a concerned resident of Tses Village.
