From saying "I am going to school" to " I am going to work". God came through 🙏🏼❤.

Without culture we lose a part of who we are. It connects us to our history, our people, and the generations that came before us. That does not mean every practice is beyond question, but it does mean they deserve to be approached with respect rather than contempt.

If you show a man you are willing to suffer, he will make you SUFFER

I would never respect a woman that date a married man. That’s a loser!!!

@Justina__ii True, a matured friend will be able to discern that. It all boils down to communication.

@Ndonga_Phoenix I think communication is key. A true and matured friend can understand your financial standing and even might offer to cover for you.

And when you don’t attend because you are low on cash then you are labeled a bad friend 🫠

@Kasikili_ I’d be looking at you sus.

@Ndonga_Phoenix At 40, it should be coded in DSM-5 because it’s a disability

Worse when he is in his 40’s. 40 years of existence yet you couldn’t find someone??

@tate_leevi True. I guess it all boils down to communication.

Okay, so everyone’s celebrating that Namibia found oil. Ten billion barrels, biggest discovery on Earth this decade, Total and Shell and Chevron all fighting to get in. And everyone’s asking the wrong question. The question is not did we find oil? The question is who owned the lottery ticket before the numbers were drawn? Here is the trick, and once you see it you cannot unsee it. Long before anyone knew there was oil back when these blocks were just empty squares of ocean on a map the government handed out licences. And inside almost every licence, a small slice, 5 or 10 percent, went to a local partner. A private company. Not the nation. Not NAMCOR. A company. And here’s the beautiful part: that slice was carried, which is a fancy word meaning the local partner never pays for anything. Not the ships, not the drilling, not one dollar of the billion dollar wells. They just hold the paper. Think of it like the village discovering diamonds under the communal grazing land but six months before the discovery, somebody quietly gave his friend a paper saying whatever comes out of this ground, ten percent is yours, and you’ll never pay a cent for the digging. Did the friend dig? No. Did he bring machines? No. He brought a signature. Now watch what happens next. In September 2021 three months before Total’s drill bit hit Venus, before anyone knew a private company owned by one Namibian businessman signed a deal to sell 49% of those carried slices  to a small company on the Canadian stock exchange. Price? About 5.7 million dollars, plus shares, completed March 2022 . And here’s the detail historians will write about the deal could only close once the Namibian government granted yet another new licence to the same group and the government granted it . A private sale in Toronto, waiting on a minister’s pen in Windhoek. The pen moved. Then the majors drilled. Mopane alone is now booked at 1.38 billion barrels equivalent That free slice the paper the friend got for a signature is now worth a fortune. And because it was sold as shares in companies rather than the licence itself, the money moves in Canada, the approvals may never have crossed a Namibian desk, and the tax question is a giant shrug. Russia in the 1990s state oil handed to insiders for kopeks before anyone priced it, and a decade later those men were billionaires and Russian pensioners were selling their medals. Nigeria: oil blocks awarded for nothing to connected men, flipped to foreign majors for over a billion dollars while the Niger Delta still has no lights. And we don’t even need to leave home Fishrot was exactly this mechanism. Paper rights to fish nobody had caught yet, given to connected men, monetised through Iceland, and the fishermen of Walvis Bay got retrenchment letters. Same script. They’ve just upgraded from fish to oil, and the ocean is the same one. The main event is that a bill is moving through Parliament right now to put the power to grant these licences the power to mint the next round of golden tickets into one office, the Presidency, just as the biggest approvals of the decade come due. Whoever holds that pen in 2026 decides who gets rich in 2030. So when first oil comes and they tell the pensioner in Khorixas to celebrate, she should ask one question the ten percent that was given away when this was just empty ocean who got it, what did they do for it, and where did the money go when they sold it? Norway asked that question before the oil flowed and built the richest pension fund on Earth. Nigeria asked it twenty years too late. Namibia gets to choose its timeline but the choosing happens now, not in 2030.

This is a false equivalence. These are children, some under the age of five years old mind you, who should be in environments designed for early childhood development and not left on the streets to fend for themselves. Comparing this to xenophobic attacks in South Africa cheapens the meaning of xenophobia and distracts from the real issue: the failure to protect vulnerable children.

Also 25k in the City is not the same as a 25k in the north.

Would your organization perhaps be interested in a Medical Officer joining the team ? 😅

Can someone explain to me in simple terms why our bonuses and overtime are being taxed?

Fence and bridge. Human lives safe. Traffic flow swift. Transport logistics efficient. Economy cruises nicely. Everyone happy. End of.

This codependency problem that our government especially the Ministry of education has created amongst parents with learners in government schools is one of the biggest problems in modern Education. And, this is not to be insensitive, some of these information can be communicated without making it a newspaper headline because, it causes so much confusion and harm to us as teachers who need the already very few parents that meet the government halfway. Many times, even some of the vulnerable children who are under the care of their grandparents or family guardians, some receive grants from the government but that money goes to things that barely benefit the child. A N$10.00 ??? We are constantly forced to dig into our own pockets to make learning and teaching productive in our resource-starved classrooms and the government is not making things any better by encouraging laziness and lack of responsibility amongst parents. Those 10 dollars come in handy when the ink runs out or copy paper finishes. It comes in handy when the budget is delayed and when relief teachers need to be paid. What exactly is the role of many of our parents? Why do we want to blame poverty for everything especially, the lack of parental involvement in the education sector? Why is our government so lenient with parents at the expense of stressing educators and expecting miracles from teachers? If education is truly free, we as teachers can also start demanding for conducive classrooms, a class with a shiny floor, shiny unbroken windows and a class that comes with full teaching aids rather than having to take money from my salary to fix a class. If I can use 500-1000 from my pocket to invest in teaching aid, why can’t a parent pay 10 dollars for an application form???????????????????? One parent goes crying to one school, the entire system must be affected!

The parent who is home at 4pm. The real question is: when did feeding your own children become a gender debate instead of basic parenting? If the kids are hungry and you’re already home, get off social media, enter the kitchen, and act like a parent.

Why not? We pay taxes on almost everything in this country. My salary is taxed. Then I use that already-taxed salary to buy food and other goods, and I still have to pay VAT. Even my pension, which comes from income that was already taxed, gets taxed again. So when people expect government to provide services and maintain infrastructure, why is that unreasonable? We contribute to the system at every turn. When you're being taxed from multiple angles throughout your life, it's only fair to expect those funds to be put to work for the people.

I guess we should also put speed humps between Otjiwarongo and Okahandja. Cos that’s the road the records the most accidents .

I am taking videos and all. It’s going to be a whole production.

Do we actually have the funds, or we are looking at a multi million dollar tender?
