@MekondjoKondja @MwahafarN Yet, they’ve approved funding for a number of level 5-7 qualification holders, it shows double standards in the allocation. I suspect they’re running out of money.

If you speak they’ll say your mind is colonised. Others will blames this on some white capitalist monopolist controlling global forces that makes industry out of African suffering. We’ve a long way to go as a people. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Africans need to fix their governments, this is not on.

Supervising postgraduate students shapes both the student and supervisor. It makes perfect sense now why my supervisor always referred to me as ‘colleague’ and we addressed each other on a first-name basis.

Help me understand this NSFAF, @MEIYSAC_Namibia’s STEFM criterion and the their response to this applicant:

@mieyolisa, thanks for the cue. Let me start ignoring some colleagues, just wanna see how many doors they will open😂😂😂. Great career advice piece!

[The Brief @TheBriefLive]

By Lisa Matomola

One of the most common pieces of career advice I hear as an HR Consultant is: “Your colleagues are not your friends.

Go to work, do your job and go home.” Over the years, I have heard this repeated so often that many employees have accepted it as fact.

Some deliberately avoid building relationships at work, others decline social interactions with colleagues, and some even block coworkers on social media because they believe work and friendship should never mix.

I understand where this advice comes from. Throughout my career in Human Resources, I have worked with organisations facing bullying, favouritism, toxic leadership, breaches of trust and unhealthy workplace politics.

Not every workplace is psychologically safe, and not every colleague has good intentions. In those environments, maintaining professional boundaries is not only wise — it is necessary.

No people can achieve great things if perpetual victimhood is part of their permanent narrative passed on from generation to generation.

@Bubbly_El_ @BankWindhoek I’ve a generous home loan with BW…it’s a love-hate relationship.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

I’ve a 10 year old parking ticket fine of N$60.00, that didn’t even know I had.

Surely, we acknowledge that terrible economics and politics in your home country are driving you to seek better opportunities. However, it is not fair that you seek a better life at the expense of South Africans by undermining laws meant for that society’s most vulnerable.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

No one has denied the vulnerability of alien Africans in South Africa. The request is simple: South Africa has been generous for decades and is not about to change, but respect the laws of that country. When you do that, you will be well served and so will South Africans.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

For example, when you use your vulnerability as an excuse to take jobs that pay below the minimum wage, you make everyone else vulnerable and harm locals' job access with your willingness to be economically exploited.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

Today shows what ignoring the cries of your people could lead to. The march is a response to one of the many failures of the ANC-led government, which is more concerned with self-enrichment than with the betterment of the lives of ordinary South Africans.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

@Bubbly_El_ CoW’s App. Who knows I might have a million on my @BankWindhoek app, if they were international.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

@ProfDNgong We should also tell our children that sympathy for the stranger shouldn’t result in lawlessness. Else we’ll have no home from which we can help the strangers we so much want to protect. I was brought by a stranger here.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

Pan-Africanists who refuse to call you to responsible living aren’t speaking for your progress. They hate you and want you to remain in a state of perpetual social infancy because it gives them relevance as they pretend to speak for your interests from their ivory towers.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

@ProfDNgong Sure, thank God for technology that we can play a lot virtual reality games these days. I’m just not sure if we should do the same with people’s socio-economic realities.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

@ProfDNgong No one is denying that they are at the edge of society. Every society has its edged members, but we cannot force South Africa to carry the burden of the edged from elsewhere when it can barely take care of its own.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

The "two wrongs don’t make a right" argument against South Africans marching against the influx of undocumented immigrants is patronising. Why are we placing the moral burden on South Africans while pampering and excusing those who violate migration laws?

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

@ProfDNgong In the coming eschaton, surely, where there’ll be no hunger, disease, and death anymore. For now, we need a system to manage anything near a utopia.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

@ProfDNgong There’s also a lot that you’re not seeing which sensational media won’t show you. Yes, I abhor violence, and I hope none of that happens. But the principal issue stands, ‘if you come to SA, do it legally’.

[RogueAcademic @KaseraBM]

@ProfDNgong If there is really enough, can we assume there is enough in their countries of origin and they don’t have to come and burden South Africa? Wouldn’t that be greedy of them?
