Thread: Namibia BUDGET 2008

Do you know whether a preview will be available? Any premonitions about the budget? Let me take a one bet: Air Namibia will again receive hundreds of millions.

I'll know more by Monday, but I see you have polished you Air Namibia crystal ball .......

I'll try and have it up as soon as I get my hands on an e-version and Shebeen makes provision for more than 16 000 characters or whaterever

Where or who else get the after Air Namibia? I guess, Katutura Hospital this time or a new jet for His excellency father of the nation?

There will be those that get! And then there will be those that won't!!!!!!!!!!!

Dooms day is today, I guess we wait with crossed fingas for the next 2 hrs or so........hulle se mos hoop beskaam nie ;-)
