Black work is a criminal act in most countries, because it affects are in many areas (tax-paying/dodging, rob unemployed citizens from employment, ect.) negative and against development.

If people are ministers, it does not mean they are special, they are simple civil servants and human beings, not little gods. I understand that blacks were treated less then human beings most of their lives and that it's still the case. The problem is, today in Namibia, Namibian blacks in key positions treat their own people like monkeys, because of greediness.

A pity and a shame that people do not understand the term : freedom of speech. Use your "freedom of speech" like I use mine, because no one is going to silence me, okay?

Mindfactory,

If you read the replies to the post, it is pretty clear that almost all of them (bar Pietro and those endless exclamation marks......) are in agreement with your "rightful" assessment of her abilities. "Freedom of speech" was applied in the form of "Freedom of Expression".........

I'm with Lumumba in his accolade 4 her: "Mother of the Nation"......let's petition for that....

Ooops!

Let's just hope no MP reads this and takes the "initiative" seriously by forwarding a motion in parliament for just that.......damn.....they most likely call it the "will of the nation"....

Tjommie!

Actually, your idea does have its merits!! Pity Mothers' Day is past!!

How's that???

Pie-tro,

What's wrong? Keyboard kaputt?

Well, if it comes to 'petition' why not just vote the right woman into the imaginary title:

Let me see, there has to be San equivalent of Saartjie Bauman in the !Namib, or wait, my mom could have very well earned that title seeing that she raised such a fine product during the tough apartheid era.....uhm, oh....man forgot about the criteria, is it only for ladies in politics? Well then, compiling the list should be narrowed down to the ladies in the spotlight, so I will petiton for the following names to be added to the voting list: Nora Schimming....eh...Libertine Amadhila.......weird...anyway ma nex one Netumbo Nandi Ndaitwah......well will add when it comes to mind who i left out unfairly, but then again if not coming up automatically, it could be an indication that......etc.....etc.....etc....What brought this one on again?

Elizabeth |Khaxas?????

I hope some MP does read this thread, and others, Tjommie. Can you imagine the publicity? I'm sure Shebeen will make summersaults if any MP ever mentions our Shebeen publicly. It will burst at its seems so many peeps will want to come in and join......LOL

And the f course there is Gwne Lister, who would deserve to be on the list of Namibian "wonder women". We may not always agree with her, but she is principled and determined if anything and takes the side of the poor and justice. The poor and downtrodded in our Republic need an ally like her to keep pour leaders on their toes. I can't believe the Government is still trying to kill off The Namibian with its advertising boycott. Shows their true colours, don't you think?
