@okaputu11 That’s just reckless. Leave Ford Ranger out please 😂😂😂

I dare you to tell me I'm wrong.

One thing we need to understand is the Legal Principles in terms of cases. These are the responsibilities of factions of the society every time there's a case:

1. Family, friends, associates, colleagues, acquaintances are expected to give moral support to the accused/defendant;
2. The Public is expected to judge in the court of public opinion;
3. The media is expected to report on the case;
4. Lawyers must defend their clients;
5. The Courts are expected to deliver Justice; and
6. None participants choose neutrality. This group includes those from all 5 groups who decided not to comform to those respective groups.

That is how we react. People may act in any other way, but that's the standard expectation.

Each and everyone of you fall in either one of those 6 categories. If you don't understand why you feel that way towards a particular case and in which group you fall, now you understand - same about others.

To expect that a person calls out their family member is being delusional because if it was our family members, we would not do that.

The fair balance is that our responsibilities change with each case. You can be a family member to this case, a member of the general public to that case, and a Non-participant to another. The balance is that those elements are always there.

It's our responsibility as the Nation to call out Corruption as members of Group 2. Public where Job is being a Group 1. Family member, but expecting him to be Group 2 where he should be Group 1 is impossible. None of us will do it if put in the same shoes.

You wake up one day and your family member, friend etc., is implicated or associated with a crime/delict, you are likely to either support them as Group 1, or your default silence will slip you into Group 6.

The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) is closing in on the appointment of a new vice-chancellor (VC), with insiders close to the recruitment process indicating that two prominent academics – both with deep ties to the University of Namibia (Unam) – have emerged as leading candidates. https://t.co/xv6Tq5y9ls

They look slightly happier lately 😅

But on a serious note, the authorities need to put out a serious word of caution - that whoever is found transporting undocumented children will - these ones or any other - have some serious answering to do.

Because rounding up kids, who are already victims of child labour and potentially trafficking - and dump them on the other side of a non existent border fence - is not a sustainable expenditure.

Those wooden wares and boiled eggs that they sell must be confiscated. Let the owners pick them up from the police and explain their abuse of the kids and our labour laws.

Some among us look at these kids with contempt, annoyed by their mere existence. These are actually victims of a system that shrugs its shoulders instead of weeding out the structural issues underpinning this generational tragedy. How can an 8-year-old roam the streets of a foreign country?

We have blood on our hands!

Just a Reminder

It doesn't matter how good you look neh, or your manners. You'll not be married by somebody from a wealthy family if you're not coming from one. That's not how rich people contaminate their families. They don't even care about your love or the love theur child have for you. Let that sink in.

They can sleep with you but that's about it. If none of your parents or grandparents touched and multiplied a million, you're poor. If you can't stop working and still be good, can't take a vacation without saving first, in fact if you're not employed by your family, you're poor.

The people you call broke here are your category. You fit no where in a rich family. Conversations aren't even the same. People there talk N$100,000 like it's a 10 dollar. Remember when President Pohamba's kid got tenders. It was being said that "Ounona womsamame Ota wu mono oihuna, kawu na sha". We also consider Nujoma humble and poor, with a worth of N$100 million. Where do you pass there with a car and house on installment? The families we want to align with buy things cash.

I don't think majority of us really understand the gaps between us and families we want to marry into. I once said here, there are houses you go to and you're offered up to 5 drinks. And it's like that everyday, not when there's a ceremony. Just look in your house right now and tell me what you'd offer a guest.

Majority of us here on Twitter, we're poor, colleagues. What you call success now, somebody's grandfather called it success in 1982. Other people's grandparents/parents were Diplomats, Lawyers, Economists already in the 90s, mhanga nyokokulu ali ike ta tende eengogo ye ta landifa ombike neenyandi.

I think in terms dating and marriage we're delusional about what we deserve. An ED wouldn't want her child marrying a child of a Teacher/Principal unless that child is a top Manager somewhere in a top company. A Minister would have a problem with her child dating a child of a just anybody. A Doctor would want her child dating a child of just anybody. It's like you're unwanted weed.

That is the reality. Stop insulting and looking down on people in your category. Otherwise you're just like how Coloureds look at us and think they're better, but over there, they're actually black too.

Last words: rich kids are rich because their grandparents and parents made compromises. Their grandparents were like us. A normal member of the ploritariat. They just made good financial decisions.

You're the generation that must make compromises and good financial decisions. You'll enjoy your wealth from your 50s and 60s, 40s if you're lucky. But the people who will enjoy it fully are your kids and grandkids. You, you must work, for them. If our parents made the great financial decisions and life choices, we'd not be waking up to be at work at 8. We'd have people waking up for us while we come in at 10 after resting properly, having had breakfast and a nice shower.

Now we are having dreams being chased by elephants. The next second you're running with bags because a motor gate is closing, then you're lying on a flying plane and fall off into quicksand. The weird dreams are because you missed your alarm. You wake up and only have 5 minutes to take a shower, brush your teeth, iron, get dressed and get to work. This is all because of the decisions our parents made or did not make.

If the president wants their family to particiate in the oil and gas sector, then she should remove it from her office...

@P_e_n_n_a_h_h_K In all honesty, I dont believe there is a lot of money in the music industry as perceived in Namibia. Music for most of our producers and artists is a side hustle, and they have a 9-5.
People need to take accountability for themselves and start fixing their own lives.

@AllArsenalnews_ Funny how he singles out one goal that was a counter. Every other attempt to goal, including offside goals, was build-up. City was breathing through their lungs the whole match, but let's talk about one counter attack goal.

[ABSA🇳🇦 @Absa_iiyambo]

You also have lungus. You contribute to his sacking

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

All the best to Ruben Amorim. It wasn't a success by any means but they brought you here to build something new and then abandoned it because they couldn't afford it.

@nambahuuuuuu I heard the incident happened at a community court that took place at the fence where only four people were present. That says a lot about the two

[ABSA🇳🇦 @Absa_iiyambo]

Just support your Arsenal or take up the managerial position and implement all the crap you are talking about

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

How hard can it be to manage Manchester United?
Just go 4-4-2, sell most of the existing squad, buy a world class goalkeeper, strong defence, rock hard midfield, 2 flying wingers and 2 top strikers. Win every game 4-3, and the Stretford End would demand statues built of you.

[Okeeke Urban @okaputu11]

When did we get here? Women like speaking on behalf of men. They are saying we don't like independent women, se Aakwambi nee, no woman will intimidate us in this country. Not one. Not two. Is it women empowerment when women speak on behalf of men? Sounds like encroachment.

[Toys Ndjebela @toys_ndjebela]

The President’s push to remove unnecessary middlemen from public procurement - which has saved over N$200 million in the medical space not so long ago - must also be extended to SOEs.

If you’re NHE, for argument’s sake, your job is to build houses - and not delegating that functional to someone else. If you’re Namcor, supply the defence ministry with fuel yourself. If you’re NamRA, correct the taxes!

Where an extra, outsider hand is needed, call in a third party to assist. By all means! But to surrender your mandate to others - so that they do YOUR work for you - is scandalous.

This is not a war on middlemen. There is space for them in the country. In fact we need them. But use them where they’re absolutely and genuinely needed.

End of.
