Well done to our Namibian Golden Girls for the Silver medal on the 400m relay. Its emotional seeing the Namibian flag raised up and singing of the National Anthem. Couldn't hold back my 😢 😿. Congratulations once again to the winning team

[Dr Hage G. Geingob @hagegeingob]

Historic achievements!

When I sent Christine & Beatrice off at State House, they promised to bring back silverware. I did not think they would bring both 🥇 & 🥈!

I congratulate our Girls claiming 1st & 2nd place at World Athletics Championships & setting a new U/20 200m WR.

@daisrym Yes Your Exellency, our girls are indeed making us all proud. We needed this as a nation under this difficult time, we have something to smile 😃 about and celebrate 🍾

10 years ago, the @UN General Assembly made a historic decision when it voted unanimously to establish @UN_Women. Thank you to all of those who have been part of the journey. Here are a few favourite moments.

@Ajoyamensah Congratulations sister, may the Lord God Almightv guide your steps all the ways as you start work in your newly deserved appointment.

@BienceG @MbuiKandjoze It's a pity your excellency that funds got wasted. I think monitoring and inspection of such works need to be done and properly assessed before any payment is effected.

[Elizabeth Kakukuru @EKakukuru]

@BienceG @jhoyosar @UN @ONU_es @IPPF_WHR @ProvidaLiga Your Excellency the debate on the legalisation of Abortion is picking up momentum again in Namibia. What s your take on this, there s currently two streams and heated debates on social media on those supporting it and the pro life group which is against it. @AWLNetwork

[Elizabeth Kakukuru @EKakukuru]

Indeed we are our families and communities' keepers.

“We are our sisters and brothers’ keepers: engaging each other and pro-actively engaging and communicating with communities.” @OfficeofDirect1 #COVID19 #AfricaResponds

[United Nations in Namibia @UNNamibia]

Women make up 70% of the health and social workforce. Yet, they continue to be left out of leadership roles and decision-making. It's crucial to place women’s leadership and contributions at the heart of the response.

@PaulNakashololo I have nt checked their website but have the document on pillar 9, it was added lately. The number of all social workers in the regions have been shared with the public also in line with the GBV and psychosocial response when needed, along with that of Child/Life Line,

[Elizabeth Kakukuru @EKakukuru]

Good observations you are making there, on no 5 the Government has recently added pillar 9 to the Covid19 National Response Plan on Psycho-social support which will deal with the mental and psychosocial effects and needs of those infected and affected by the pandemic.

[Paul @AfrikanMason]

5. Why is NOBODY talking about any permanent long-term MENTAL or PHYSICAL health consequences on survivors??? Is the health ministry going to keep a register and follow up?

6. What are the long-term consequences for the economy? Surely things can't just go back to normal

@nammedstuds Yes

[Elizabeth Kakukuru @EKakukuru]

@UNNamibia @unwomenSA @UNFPA_Namibia @unwomenafrica Indeed menstrual hygiene & health is critical for women. During a crisis like this, with scarcity of food items women s reproductive health needs become neglected. Our Covid19 response need to be engendered to ensure that such needs esp. for adolescent girls are catered for.

[Elizabeth Kakukuru @EKakukuru]

@bernard_haufiku One concern is that currently its PnP and Woolworth that s open supermarkets selling such items but very expensive for an ordinary woman, who might opt to get such items cheaper from Pep store or Ackermans

[Elizabeth Kakukuru @EKakukuru]

@bernard_haufiku This s unbelievable but what are the reasons for such mass travelling, are these really all necessary and urgent travelling..its sad indeed. God have mercy on us.
