Tala, I concur with you! We as a nation simply have to go back to the way our grandfathers used to live, especially putting church first (Fearing GOD and respecting ourselves). We can never solve crime by committing crime, Period!

2010-07-30, 17:04:24

It is heartwrenching to see criminal activies in any society. Where are our moral, ethical, societal and family values? Do we even have them? Emotions aside, calls for death penalty and castration are all wishful thinking. Moreover, not all humans can be castrated. Mob justice is just another crime. One can not necessarily instil ethical, moral and family values by passing laws. I think more needs to be done at family level, church level and traditional authority level in cultivating a culture of respect and self-discipline. Bottom-up approach is the way to go!

My heartfelt condolences to the Stoffels family and friends. Hope justice will prevail.

Saima, Yes i think castration must be introduced. The Gender Based Violence is on the increase now and really getting out of hand. Our sisters, mothers, daughters are being killed every day. They are no more safe at all, they fear us (Men). It should not go on like this.

Cde.Katusha kaNamibia, when the black people live in those so called squatters in Havana and other areas that is what the Major and his Councillors should look at, and bring about solutions to such living conditions, please people let us have mercy to our own people and start now enough is enough, no more auctioning of plots please!!!!

I totally condemn the killing of women by the Namibian evil men, this is inhuman and this barbaric act should come to an end. The start should be now and the killer of the late Magdaline Stoffels must get MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT, which is life in prison. He must be castrated too. We are sick and tired of such people and should therefore be removed from the entire society for good. Hang him if possible!

Thanks Maria.windhoek municipal(Goverment) please wake up....oh !

Selling urban lands/plots by auction will never solve problem of acquiring lands in Namibia,as only few will buy the plots and the majority continue to live without plots to build their houses.The Government must stop this.

2010-07-29, 09:06:04

Dear Comrades,the Mayor of the City of Windhoek on Nbc news on Wednesday,28 July 2010 alluded that the auction of lands/plots on 23 July 2010 was a resounding success.Is it a success,when young people could not afford to buy plots in Aus Blick and Dorado Park? or Is it success because the black people cannot afford to buy those plots?The auction never been a success rather a failure of the city of Windhoek to transform the society particularly the young people to own lands in the City of Windhoek.How many black people bought the plots that day?How many young people?I have witness two Chinese national buying plots in Aus Blick that day.How many africans own plots in China or Europe? The City of Windhoek auctioned the houses of elderly and poor people in Katutura and now discriminate the black people by selling the plots through auction.We need new alternatives in the City of Windhoek Comrades!SWAPO should be ready to bring in new alternatives in the City of Windhoek.Aluta Continua!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tend to have a diverging view from that of Cde Tala. It’s not at all matter of scale and facts; however, it’s a matter of upholding the principles of integrity and moral values, the GIPF saga is in a true sense a breach of trust towards its members of the fund (public servants). Public Servants lets stand up for what’s right and denounce in all earnest the misappropriation of our funds.

2010-07-28, 17:45:29

Correction: N$600,000,000 out of N$40,000,000,000. 600 million out of 40 billion. A scale of N$600 out of N$40,000

2010-07-28, 16:03:50

I do not condone any mismanagement whatsoever. However, we need to look at facts. If I spend/invest N$2 out of a N$100. A mere 1.5%. Would owners of that money be very mad? N$600, 0000, 000 out of N$40,000,000,000 has been used in the so called saga at GIPF. It is also just 1.5%. It is a matter of scale.

2010-07-27, 17:16:22

Dear Comrades,I cannot understand why Government employees cannot access part of their pension to build their houses or to do business.The money is being squandered by GIPF, even given to some of the briefcase companies,N$ 660 Millions is gone.Politicians should act now,time for talking is gone.Comrade.President,Prime Minister and Cabinet should act now!We have teachers sleeping in iron corrugated sheets at schools were they are teaching,while their pension is being squandered.We have Police officers through out the country that are sleeping in tents and iron corrugated sheets,while their pension is being squandered.Government employees should start access part of their pension now!We gave them the mandate.GIPF, give the money to teachers and Police officers to build their houses now!Aluta Continua!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cde.Kanamutenya,I totaly agree with you.Politicians must act now and put a stop on auctioning lands/plots.We are talking of social & econimc transformation of society hence the City of Windhoek is selling plots through auction,where only a few can benefit.When will the City of Windhoek will empower the people particularly the black Namibians.Is the City of Windhoek only for the rich? Imagine for one to register for auction,you have to register with N$ 50.00 non refundable fee plus N$ 500.00 refundable fee.According to the city of Windhoek employee,800 people registered for the auction.Take N$ 50 x 800 =N$ 40 000.00.There were 210 plots that was auctioned for more than N$ 510 000.00 with the highest auctioned at N$ 1.5Millions.Mr.Mathew Shikongo and his Councillors must stop the auctioning of plots now.With 800 people registered for auction,the plots were only bought by around 50 people.Aluta Continua!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Comrades, whatever people say,I shall put my vote for Cde.Kaaronda.He proves himself beyond reasonable doubt.We need leaders in NUNW,who can articulate issues without fear or favour.Cde.Kaaronda is one of those leaders thus far,who on number of occassion outspoken on issues of great concern such as GIPF,TransNamib,Pupkewitz and many others.Therefore Cde.Kaaronda deserve another term to engage the Government & Private sectors to create much need employment for our people particularly the graduates.I have no doubt that Cde.Kaaronda will take NUNW to another level and encourage the workers to join the unions.I want Cde.Alfred Angula as Deputy Secretary of NUNW.I think the two will make out a great combination of unwavering leaders that will enables the workers to ripe the benefits of the NUNW through social & ecomic transformation.VIVA NUNW.Aluta Continua!!!!!!!!!!!!
