I have been slacking on our monthly tradition. I might as well apologize seeing that is all I have been doing of late. Anyhow…if you are new to this, allow me to contextualize this for you. Every month I share a personal playlist of strictly Namibian music. When I say personal, I mean this is...

Miss Namibia under the previous director Connie Maritz was straight cow dung. I hated every pageant staged by Connie and her team since my earliest recollection. And I have been around hey, nothing about the pageant under the previous director reflected the true essence of Namibian society. Year in, year out… I criticised the pageant,...
