n THE veterans’ kids are homeless, they have no money and food.
The poor pensioners’ houses are sold because they can’t afford (to pay). There is no money to pay school fees for the needy ones to mention a few.Despite all this, they have money for Cuba.Ooh! Swapo regering.- Ndalengwa n THE writer who questioned the N$9 million for Cuba vs the Namibian poor and drought-displaced persons needs to be reminded of the following: The heroic, just and selfless sons and daughters of the green Caribbean Caiman (Cuba), the hot land of General Antonio Maceo, José Marti and the stallion with white beard (the forever Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz), died in Cuito Cuanavale and fought many battles together with Plan, the military wing of Swapo for the liberation of this land of the brave.The blood of the Cubans is not worth any amount of money because they have moral, dignity and superior human qualities.The withdrawal of the Cuban troops from Angola was one the pre-conditions to the implementation of Resolution 345 that brought about Namibia’s independence and which the Cuban people selflessly complied with.- Nelao Hanghuwo Food For Thought n PLEASE Mr Nangolo Mbumba, we want our Grade 10 results in newspapers again.The SMS system is too slow and sometimes the response is that ‘there are lot of matching names’ although the airtime is gone.- Last Year’s Victim n HON MPs, if you want the country to be self-sufficient in food, then we must opt for the green scheme.Most of the eastern part of the country is well fertilised.Bouquets And Brickbats n WUF-WUF simply the best.Congratulations to the The Dogg for doing it again.Mshasho family.We love you man.n SONS and daughters of Namibia, keep on lifting Namibia’s flag! The Dogg, Lady May and Gal Level congrats! We are very proud of you.- Aunt Rejoice CONGRATULATIONS to The Dogg, he has proven to be Namibia’s kwaito superstar after all the other domestic awards.Keep it up and be an example to the ‘kings’.- Gmp n OWNER of the boerboel (from Khomasdal) (pictured in the Allgemeine Zeitung of October 10): I hope you rot in hell for ill-treating that dog! Politics n SURELY there should be an age limit for the SPYL? For how long are people regarded as “youth”? Old faces should get out.n THIS is soo confusing! Ms Akwenye is reportedly saying “a document still under negotiation”, yet, Hon (Helmut) Angula has already asked Parliament to ratify it with missing parts.How can you make an incomplete law? n I DON’T understand why war veterans’ kids think they can benefit from GRN.The fact that they were born in exile did not keep them from being educated to get better jobs.Was the entire nation supposed to leave the country? Why is everything just for veterans? We also contributed inside the country, what do we get? n WHY is the political landscape in Namibia not divided between: conservatives and liberals, unitarists and federalists, capitalists and socialists instead of the present ‘we liberated this country’ against the collaborators.What will happen when the last two groups are no more? Anyway they are too old now.n WE salute you our young comrades.Keep up the good work, our Swapo slogan is forward march backward never.We are all behind you.Viva young comrades, united we stand, divided we fall.Let us all be united.n YOUR Excellency Comrade Nekundi I salute you no matter where you are now.I followed the programme on NBC TV where you were accompanied by Honourable Hofeni, Shixwameni and others.So on behalf of us, Swapo Party members, and all Namibian peace lovers let me say personally stay there for us forever man.We need good leaders to lead us in this country.- Cde E Shuundeni, Walvis Bay n COMRADE Nekundi and your allies.Your statements are disgusting, embarrassing and tantamount to washing dirty linen in public.Use Party structures to raise your concerns.n MR Kaura, you surprised the nation, your statement during the annual executive meeting is destructive and immoral.You are destroying not only your party, but your personal credibility and respect will diminish.Mr Venaani take over before our party finally falls apart.His statement implies that Mr De Waal, Mr Gende, Mr Moongo and Mr Venaani must resign since they do not associate with nor support your blatant discriminatory remarks.No wonder many people of our party are joining other political parties.Leave our southern region in peace.We have also people from the South who have key positions in other regions, but they are not discriminated against.For example Chief Inspector in Oshana Region is from our region and well respected in that region.n HON Katuutire Kaura of DTA should be reminded that DTA has members and supporters in the North.Does he want to tell us that we (people) from the North must not get employed and resettled in the South? I wonder what his reaction would be if a DTA member from Ondangwa/Omuthiya/Okahao got employed as a Mayor for Keetmans/Karasburg.He must discontinue selling his cheap politics to the people of Karas and Hardap regions.He was here as a premier of the so called “DTA Administrative Government” before independence but he did nil for them.Maybe one day he will become a president of this country.If so, will he continue calling us the “Northerners”? In And From The Regions n MR J Gomaseb you are in Mariental as per your SMS.Are you aware that our Honourable Governor does have an office open 24 hours? Why don’t you go to her office and find out about your so-called ‘economic sidelining’.Why run to Windhoek for solutions in Mariental.Wish you luck.n SHOPRITE and Pick ‘n Pay please come soon to open your shop complex here in Nkurenkuru town to save us from false and monopolistic prices, and contaminated food.Rundu has been saved for now and all.Hundreds of your new customers on both sides of the Kavango River are desperately waiting for the opening of your shops.n I WONDER if Rundu Town Council can see how dirty the street is between Nored Electricity office and Pep Stores.The street is just a mess.- Fed-up resident n TO our council of Ohangwena Region, we need a sports field at our village (Ouhongo) so that we can keep our bodies healthy and not follow alcohol any more.Please.n SERVICES in Keetmanshoop are deteriorating daily.No notice is given when water is shut down.How must we wash? Why Not? n STILL on precious leopard.Why do our leaders and so-called advisors not think further than their nose? How can you justify the killing of leopards by saying they are trouble (problem) animals because they are killing 50 calves.A leopard is just like a dog, those who own dogs must know that a leopard eats the same amount per year as a dog.That means if you can afford a dog you can also afford to keep a leopard on your farm.Why do you have to kill? Each year licences are issued to trophy hunters to kill zebras, the meat left by trophy hunters can be used to feed more leopards.Why if the SPCA can afford to feed all unwanted cats and dogs what about our GRN.A certain woman from cheetah conservation said farmers are losing more stock to theft and less to predators.I know that each farmer can afford to feed a cheetah or leopard in a cage, even me I can use my small salary to feed it.General n NBC should put back the news to 8 o’clock.The new slot at seven is making us the majority of citizens to miss out.Some people have meetings after work and only arrive home after 19h30.Please Mr Kaapanda crack a whip there.n JUST want to know how long it takes at TransNamib for a post to be filled.We applied for welder post six month ago but till now have had no reply.Please GM.Engineering, let us know because it’s in your department! n I NEED to know why we are paying too much on food which are produce in our land like maize, macaroni etc.n KM is the silliest woman alive.Why doesn’t she dump the abusive boyfriend before he kills her, remember he threatened her.n WHY are so many just worried about politics and are silent about the danger of men shooting their lovers before turning guns on themselves! n I WOULD like to respond to my married sister whose husband was “taken away” SMS.Dear sister, I think yo
u are misinterpreting what your friend said to you.She tried to tell u that your husband leaving was not your fault but his own.You were in anguish because you blamed yourself.You are still blaming yourself, judging from the advice you are giving to others.My advice to you as a recently divorced woman who did everything a “good woman” is expected to do.No matter what you do when it is over it is over! Stop blaming yourself and move on there is life after divorce.n (NDF) Chief of Defence! How can you build the house from the roof? Promoting the armed forces commanders, while their subordinates (the navy in particular) are still with lower ranks.Come on let’s build up the NDF, not the individuals.n TENT church in Clemens Kapuuo Street, please turn down your volume on weeknights as we are writing exams.n CITY POLICE do not abuse your powers.Why should you practise corporal punishment if it is prohibited by the law? Don’t you know the extent of your discretional powers? You are not acting fairly and reasonably at all.Do not degrade others dignity.A person is innocent till proven guilty by the courts.- Law student n HOW can a parastatal’s chairperson be so blind and renew a contract without the line minister’s consent! Thanks for resigning and Mr CEO, follow suit.You shame our GRN with your hidden agendas.- Original Swapo.n I AM requesting all the fans of Gazza and to please check their idols’ cellphones carefully.The number 081-129-3545 does not belong to either The Dogg or Gazza.- Mika n I WANT to find out whether civil servants who reached the retirement age are given extensions? How long is the extension? Answer awaited from the PS of Works.Money Matters n DEAR Editor, it seems strange that taxpayers’ money is being on an entourage (of 10 or more personnel) to Angola to vindicate Air Namibia’s name instead of bringing one Angolan national to prove his allegations against the entire Air Namibia company.n IT is ridiculous to have to register as a VAT receiver at N$200 000 per year.I bet every shebeen earns more than that and I doubt if a single one charges or keeps track of VAT (or sends in a tax return for that matter).In South Africa you only have to register at a million a year.When will our Receiver (of Revenue) get the message that small one-man shows can’t keep up with the bookwork and are just getting themselves into trouble? n GET your facts right on selling matangaras and beer to schoolboys.This is misleading! What she sold is Oshikundu, a traditional drink normally used by all ages n SINCE Independence only Kaptein Hendrik Witbooi was on the money.Why? Why not the founding father? My voice is my vote.Tailender n KIND words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are endless.- Readers are most welcome to send a short “tail-end’ thought – something to ponder, as one of our readers recommended, or something genuinely humorous.- Newsdesk—–There is no money to pay school fees for the needy ones to mention a few.Despite all this, they have money for Cuba.Ooh!
