Two female NBC TV anchors were on Wednesday evening caught in an awkward position when one scolded the other on how she wanted to be greeted and her segment introduced during a live television broadcast of the 20h00 news.

In a Miss Namibia edition with strong competitors and no obvious frontrunners, standing out would have been easier said than done. But the feat was seemingly effortless for Chelsi Shikongo, who wowed audiences and the judges – not only with her beauty and elegance but her fluency and grace.

A rather disappointing scene from a clip, going viral from last weekend, is of artists Top Cheri and Manxebe performing in Tsumeb to a massive crowd, despite the latest Covid-19 gathering regulation to only allow 50 people at an event.

Even after more than 40 years in the music business, guitarist and vocalist Ras Lando, real name Simon Muundjoas, still fine-tunes his skills every day.

Last week I wrote about the pick-me culture. This week, we can sommer call it an extension of the pick-meism village. For aeons on end, women have been dubbed and labelled “difficult to get along with each other”. Sometimes, more often, I am sure that every other woman has had an encounter where another woman has been mean towards you for no reason. 

While some artists find it hard to release CDs since Covid-19 reared its ugly head last year, some have learned to adapt and continue releasing full-length albums.

Of late, there has been emerging thoughts and ideas on what the world is all about. In all discussions of this kind though, it all eventually boils down to perception. How one perceives the world determines their life experience. This would then mean that whoever wishes to control one’s life and experience, can simply do so by controlling one’s perception.

Earlier this week, the upcoming singer wrote on her social media platform: “I am an independent artist. That other label is bietjie stout [little naughty]”.

He said online platforms also motivate Namibian creatives to strive in perfecting their content, be it films, music, acting or whatever form of production they are into. There is thus a need to invest in quality content and meet the standards of the global industry to receive proper recognition.

Not one to shy away from being innovative when releasing new music, ML has done it again by giving away N$1 000 for eight weeks to lucky fans to promote her new album ‘Money Music’.
