Civil society
Namibian civil society should become more visible, aggressive and dynamic and stop acting like an extension of government. Be proactive and take a strong stand in the fight against the destruction and devastation of our environment and coastal areas by greedy mining conglomerates and property developers in cahoots with the elites of this country, before it is too late! The GRN should never allow our land to be used for unqualified and unproven phosphate sea mining experimentation. Period!
Veterans’ cheques
Namibian government, are you only paying those veterans’ cheques to those who are alive? What about those who died in events like the Cassinga massacre? Imagine somebody losing three of her kids at Cassinga, yet she got nothing. And then people keep talking about veterans’ cheques. Who are those veterans? These parents deserve to get something.
Livestock war
The South African and Namibian livestock import war is a really serious matter, requiring highest level intervention by His Excellency President Pohamba and His Excellency Zuma. Literally speaking, South Africa’s conditions are too strict and cumbersome.
I read opinion piece by Dr Ngarikutuke Tjiriange and agree absolutely with him. The constitution is very clear, as it does not speak of which generation must qualify, but should your mother or father be a Namibian by birth, you should also be. This includes your children, grandchildren and so on.
SA music channel
MultiChoice, we need channel dedicated to 1980s old music like Brenda Fassie, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Paul Ndlovu, Soul Brothers etc. We need that South African music. Channel 323 mostly features American artists only.
NUNW
Did we salute and congratulate NUNW for the 10% increase? Government did an excellent job. NUNW, thank you for your hard work. I also call for your continued affiliation to Swapo.
