Water word 5% duurder:

Ag asb. Ver onder wat? Put your money where your mouth is! Kom ons kry al die ander tariewe waarna hulle verwys en vergelyk elke dorp in Namibië se waterpryse met Windhoek s’n. Dis omdat niemand actually dit vergelyk nie dat ons skelm CoW met alles wegkom. Mens raak so moeg vir weeklikse verhogings, dan’s dit krag, water, petrol, rates en taxes – noem maar op. Iemand al gedink en uitgewerk waar staan die pryse oor 3 jaar? Wat dink CoW, hoe lank dit kan aangaan voor niemand MEER KAN betaal nie – nie wil nie, maar fisies kan nie? Waar gaan dit stop of gaan mense beginne wegtrek omdat niemand meer hier kan bly nie – wat dan? #gatvolvirCoW – Erika Glück

“Swanu oor voorvaderlike grond”:

Daar is hoeveel plase wat GRN al gekoop en pasella aan comrades gegee het. Sodra die wild op geskiet en veld uitgetrap is, verloor hul belangstelling en gaan sit in die dorp by hul gemaklike werke waar hul maandeliks ‘n salaris verdien. So verloor GRN net nog belasting wat eens betaal was. – Estelle Blaauw

Wens mense wil wakker word en besef dat om te boer nie in almal se broek sit nie. Dit lyk dalk lekker en gou ryk word. Maar dit is harde werk en baie bid. Veral nou met die droogte ook! – Jeanette Hundemer

“’Te min tyd’ vir buitelandse studente”:

Those institutions are not a problem, the problem is here in Namibia where we have incompetent authorities like HPCNA that are abusing power because of specific individuals who have vested interests. NQA have never had issues with those institutions, in fact the medical field is mostly dominated by doctors with foreign qualifications from the very same institutions. Due diligence was carried out. There was a team that was dispatched in 2013 to those countries.

But both the HPCNA and MoHSS as a custodian of the internship program have failed to plan for the safe landing of the graduates, thus projecting their failure on graduates.

There is a difference between testing for academic competency and practical (professional) competency. The internship program was introduced to fill the gap between theory acquired in school and local standardized practice which is not in any text book. One cannot then set an evaluation without reference.

There are rules and laws out there that regulates standards of testing that where not complied to, which only competent professionals would know. It’s unfortunate the Council have no resident qualified physicians with the necessary qualification to set such an evaluation, that is why they outsourced.

This can amount to a diplomatic insult, because a number of these graduates where on free scholarships given by those countries. It’s sad but the government have failed their own children. – Gibson Van Mooren

Thanks for sharing. I can just imagine how these students must be feeling. Dispaired, demotivated, hopeless . . . Now everyone is throwing hands in the air. – Emmarencia van Wyk
