Intimidating RDP supporters is undemocratic PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 06 December 2007 10:29

Please allow me to share a few thoughts on the current political situation in the country, which is of great concern to me.  It is rather disappointing to see the ruling party panicking and rambling about the establishment of the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP). The ruling party should be warned that Namibia is a democratic country and we cannot be intimidated through its autocratic and undemocratic behaviour as had happened during the former president’s tenure. Swapo should learn to accept defeat, and not rig elections as happened during the 2004 congress.

Dear Editor,

Recently our colleague at Unam (University of Namibia) who was the Director of Human Resources passed away. But shortly before she died, she was hospitalised on 23 October 2007. On 24 October 2007 the Unam community was informed accordingly. On the same day, the Assistant Director of Human Resources, Mr. R Izaks was appointed as acting Director of Human Resources for three months.

Dear Sir,

FIRSTLY I would like to applaud the Namibian musicians, for being so entertaining. This is a positive attitude when it comes to the development of our society. But my concern lies with those who are bringing confusion in the Industry. I am an up-coming hip-hop, R & B artist, if I could say so, because I entered this year’s Sanlam Music Awards. I paid the usual N$50.00 registration fee.

Swapo must resolve the ex-detainees issue PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 30 November 2007 20:59
This is an open letter to the Swapo Party leadership, through its Secretary General, Dr Ngarikutuke Tjiriange, regarding the unresolved issue of the Swapo ex-detainees as the party congress, the highest decision making organ of the organisation, meets as from 27 to 30 November. We hope that you will take this opportunity to raise with the congress the need for the Swapo Party to address the long standing issue of serious and systematic human rights abuses that were committed before independence under Swapo in exile.

Damaras and Namas are not the only ones committing crime PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 30 November 2007 20:54
I wish to respond to an SMS about the social behaviour of the youth in Outjo town which was in the Namibian of 6 November 2007. Crime is apparently committed by mostly Damara/Nama speaking groups as it was alleged by the writer. While this could be true in the sense that the majority of people who live in Outjo are Damara/Nama speaking people, my question is why is it that when the
