Being a black woman, my inspiration & writings are mostly directed to black people. Now, I want to ask black people out there the following questions:

 Who got the idea for flight? It was Wilbur & Orville Wright. Who got the idea for the telephone? It was Alexander Graham Bell. Who got the idea for electricity? It was Thomas Edison. Who got the idea for personal computers? It was Jobs, Wozniak & Gates. It was Newton who discovered the law of gravity because millions saw…

Not many have a fundamental grasp of world events & historical acumen, which plays to the advantage of those in power.  Power is authority, control & influence.   They have authority, control & influence to manipulate the truth, confuse & lie to the public to fit the mould of the world they want to see.  Societies are held together, constructed or disintegrated by certain thought systems e.g. our sense of what is “right & wrong” is what holds society together.  Thus there…

Many of you are busy preparing your stationery & other things for a year at Tucsin, Namcol or other Institutions to upgrade your marks.  1^st of February, your first day of school at Tucsin for some of you.  Work hard & work smart, but mostly I want you to know that your current environment is not an indication of your future environment.  It is just that, your present – nothing more and nothing less.  You, and only you,…

By the time that Axel Broadmead discovered his love he was already starting to go gray at the temples. 

Axel Broadmead did not know much about the ways of love. He had searched everywhere - a long and winding search for love that led him down some treacherous paths. When he could not find it, he settled for the thing that most resembled love: he married a beautiful woman. 

Secretly…

It was a hot day in Walvis. There was a knock at the door. When I opened it, the heat rushed in first, then some dust. In the sun stood a woman with two daughters, one on each side, and two small children beside. Three generations neatly arranged. I saw the dust on their legs . They looked like they had been walking far. The elder woman spoke. She had a look in her eyes, like someone who is not used to looking at walls and buildings the whole day, like those people…

I want to wish our members and readers a very happy year in 2012.

I ask you all (I have my own thoughts, but I want yours), what do you all think Namibia needs to become a great nation? 

Hi all

In a bold move bound to generate some controversy and potentially inflame tensions, prominent Namibian student leader Job Amupanda, today published his manifesto for an exclusive Movement of Black Radicals in Namibia.

Written in the ‘we’ mode,…

On 11 October 2011, Israel and Hamas announced a deal to release Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the freeing of Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, yet no children were on the list of Palestinian prisoners to be released. 

Every 12 hours a Palestinian child is arrested.…

What is interesting, though not surprising, about the approach of the mainstream media is that every single article about Gecko's toxic VIP project (without exception) ends off by giving the last word and the benefit of the doubt to the corporation.…

It has been a while. Hope all is well. The Arts industry is picking up again. We fell victim not to the global financial crises but to selectivity when it comes to funding projects. Hope Namibians in key positions will grow up and look at the development of the arts industry and not at friends and favors. There is so much to be offered in the arts.
