From The Twittersphere

THE weather was wild, #DateMyFamily was off the rails, and Namibians got lost in time. TVs and smartphones in Namibia failed to… well, keep up with the times… and switched to the now abandoned winter time. Confusion! As if life isn’t confusing enough…

@OfficialP_Elago: Wear the clothes you can afford. Eat the food you can afford. Drink the alcohol you can afford. Live where you can afford. Buy the car you can afford. Have the wedding you can afford. Don’t go broke and in debt trying to impress people. Live within your means.

@Uerikoravi: Even though wealth and financial stability in households will take a long(er) time to achieve, we must keep the youth off the streets and out of liquor establishments by investing in sports. Better the existing facilities and drive the spirit of sport through the roof.

@netmorris_: Bushiri’s church “spirits away about R15m a month” believed to be (alleged) money laundering. In other news, these mega million churches better start paying taxes like every other business…

@DautiToni: So some androids reset the time to winter time; others got on with the programme and are aware that Namibia’s no longer switching times? Who to ask? Odd. Also causing confusion in a number of households.

@drvox: Tried to explain to my sons today why America celebrates the reincarnation of an ancient religious figure by eating candy out of eggs left by a benevolent rabbit. Was only moderately successful.

@papsikatt_: “She has to have a car. MY last girlfriend cheated on me with my friend so I had to WALK away…

@zmvulane: Thabang’s ex-girlfriend went to the Somalian shop to buy bread and came back with a baby…

@EricanM: She must own a car. I like driving. Hebanna, is he looking for a dealership or driving school?

@Mmaps_ThePro: A guy who is selling Herbal Life is not an entrepreneur, guys. He’s a salesperson… there is a huge difference between a salesperson and entrepreneur.

@ChiqueUrban: So, compromising on a game of football to watch ‘Generations’ is this guy’s idea of romance?!?!

@VusiThembekwayo: “Men will sell you a rail and they don’t have a train.” We need to publish a book with all the quotes from this show.

@KagisoSefera: By the time I buy a car, girls would have developed a taste for pilots.

@Nyerereh: People who get stranded in the north after each long weekend or holidays never learn.

@MrMenziN: Adulting culture is worrying about your job, finances, dating, friends, family and future while keeping it together.

@uiisira: Next time I go to kapana with N$150 I need a hype man to follow me around with a boombox playing ‘God’s Plan’.

Overheard

@Omuwa_Etuna: Can’t Hitman fight that Joshua guy, ano?? RT @HansShipiki: He can if my hairline grows back.

@MirrorCeleb: Princess Diana will be there at Prince Harry’s royal wedding – as a ghost. RT
@_xSarahKelly: Well, she’s not really in a position to be there as a DJ, is she?

@ndapsie: Don’t let these social media streets be your moral compass. Life is much more deeper than what the ‘woke’ people are agreeing with.

Passing Shots

@fash_ngobese: ‘Inxeba’: The Wound; ‘Isidingo’: The Need; ‘Imbewu’: The Seed. What next??? ‘Intsangu’: The Weed??

@yandatitus: Our lecturer said that money may not buy you happiness but it does buy you a better quality of misery. I felt that.
