Women From Namibia

"I am so proud to have won this, not just for me, but for my country."

"Marriage is an endurance race. We are so used to instant gratification that we have forgotten how important it is to work for something you want. Marriage is the same. You won’t always like your spouse, you won’t always win arguments and you won’t feel like compromising. What matters is that you serve the marriage instead of yourself. Doing introspection helps a lot because you become each other’s mirror. Work on yourself first before trying to blame someone else"

"Summer bodies are chiselled in winter. It all starts with recognising bad habits. Binge eating, watching series, and being emotionally exhausted start with choosing not to rest instead of watching TV. Choosing yourself is as easy as scheduling physical activity as a priority in your daily routine. You have to make time for your health – that includes exercising and meal prepping in order to avoid eating takeaways"

"I've been seen as a physical player, so I'm going to focus on the other spheres like the social aspects of the game and strategic play and timing. I'm definitely going to work more on my relationship skills this season"

"I'm excited to be back on the show, there has been a two-year gap which includes two seasons. I'm super excited to be playing with these people because it's a super strong cast and the diversity in this cast is amazing, so I am excited to see it play out, the story behind the story and the alliances, their view of the game and what narrative they are going with"

"I’ve just seen too much, to not be happy with where I’m at. My voice, my current struggles, and my journey will speak to someone out there who needs to be reminded that, mommy, sister, daughter, wife, friend — you are doing your best, and sometimes your best needs to be good enough for now, until your energy is revived — and until we switch some gears. But until then, Let’s do what you can, and the rest will follow! We are in this together. We are more connected than you realise. Let’s draw strength from each others’ struggles, and hope from each others’ triumphs"

"Sometimes you need to trust your gut and not sweat the small stuff. Weight can always be dropped, getting your mind right takes effort and reversing eating disorders, well that’s a conversation for another day"

"This is the heaviest that I’ve ever been in my entire life it scares me. I work hard. I burn calories but I don’t eat in a deficit just yet. I need to do what’s best for my baby, and that’s staying nourished and mentally healthy"

"It is difficult to remain disciplined, when you’re working, and you’re mommying, and you’re wifeying... sometimes you forget your own needs. Sometimes you have too much grace for yourself, other times you have too little"

"I am tired, yet I love every second of the waking hour. I am not my body, yet I need to treat it like my temple. This Body is the only one I’ll get in this lifetime, and I can’t trade it in for a newer model"

"I want to be remembered as someone who tried to bring change amongst the youth in Namibia."

"I love to cook and I make mean wraps. I don’t like cooking for myself though."

"I see everyone as an equal. No one is lower than me, no matter what they have or don’t have."

"Firstly, sports taught me that it’s never a failure if you don’t succeed. It taught me to build character, perseverance and how to socialise."

"Sports was a natural thing for my brother and I, we loved it so much and our parents were always supportive."

"An experience is much better than any gift."

"If she had the privilege of meeting Barack Obama, she would gift him a family trip to one of Namibia’s tranquil conservation reserves."

"I have been here a few times, this is my fourth or fifth time."

"I loved writing so much that I ran a very successful school magazine back in high school. I was always told Windhoek is too big to make it and reminded that I will never make it. So, the dream I chased the hardest when I came to the city was definitely writing."

"I don’t let myself get tangled in the web of fame. Fame is cute but a lot of times creatives let it ruin them. They never make it to the music business aspect. You waste time chasing likes and views, while the business suffers."

"I never met my father or knew who he was. I was mocked by my fellow pupils, who always asked about my father."

"Every year, everything is new, and half of the performers are new, parents who are participating are new, and we always add to the children and parents’ activities.Top Cheri Kiddies concert tomorrow."

"A leader should timeously make room for the younger generation to take over the reins, in order to introduce new approaches and alternative ways of addressing challenges of national importance."

"I trust that we will see the day when the services of NGOs will be utilized by ministries to a large extent, on a continuous basis."

"I shall always carry WAD in my heart"

"I am a very well-known person, so I don’t know if they wanted to kidnap me and then ask for ransom for my release, or rob my guests and me."

"I had discovered that the British imperial statue of a horse and rider exists in three different locations: London, Cape Town, and Harare."

"As an artist sensitive to the histories and memories contained in the landscapes and structures that relate to our past, it is difficult not to engage with our colonial inheritance and its effects."

"There was an absence of markers or memorials where atrocities occurred."

"The landscape was like a veil that obscured painful struggles and lives that existed in them."

"Personally, for me, it's quite a good year. It's been an interesting year because when I first arrived, I came here with the project called Mama Africa, which was a series of films by female filmmakers, and I was one of the writers-directors but the product was being launched here so I really came to see what it was all about and get a sense of the environment."

"Normally, as a producer I work in a very intimate, on the ground, making decisions all the time but in Hotel Rwanda that just operated in very different ways because there's so much money at stake and the politics of that particular filmmaking are very different."

"That was a very different project because it was very much developed and produced as a Hollywood film. When you work with a product like that, you have a very minimal role. In a way, I represented the South African money and obviously was part of the production but it does operate on a very different level."

"The growth and rise of black talent is very slow, they aren't many and that's for different reasons also. Filmmaking is very hard so for young people to do that, not to earn a living, life is tough at home, they don't have families who can support them while they go to film schools, it's very difficult."

"IT'S an honour to receive such recognition for my impact as a humanitarian ophthalmologist. I am humbled as I extend gratitude and appreciation to the Lions Club."

"For so many people, living with preventable blindness makes all the difference in whether or not they survive or starve,Famous eye doctor."

"My biggest goal in life is to end preventable blindness and to build a team of committed young people that will continue to fight against it, so even when I am not here, they will carry on the mission."

"We are suffering today in our health ministry because of these middlemen and tenderpreneurs. That’s why we don’t even have medicine in our hospitals today because they are busy suing each other. Suddenly, we cannot get medicine anymore because of that and people are dying, and it is not nice. Thank God we have our good Samaritans, who are helping us. Otherwise, there will be no eye camp happening here."

""I didn't want her to appear in the newspapers ... the day she was born" retrieved on 26 January 2009"

"What many don’t understand is that I had a lifetime plan for my music. I did not just wake up one day and decide to be a musician. So while the industry is competitive, I’m focusing on a plan I already made. I have identified my fan base and that is who I focus on."

"We always work according to the necessary steps. And if something does not work for us, we have no problem cutting our losses. And if you look closely at how corporates work, you will see we share the same vision. We have always kept it a business and do not indulge in unnecessary industry drama that kills the reputation of your brand."

"Growing up, I had never imagined a music career. It had never crossed my mind until I started getting inspired by life around me--the things I see, the people I meet, the situations they are in and what I could do to change their circumstances."

"The article about me in Sister Namibia (4 years ago) gave me the exposure that I needed. It made people aware of me and my music. And it gave me a platform from where to reach out to women through my music"

"I'm so in love with country music."

"And my next dream was to record my album in the country capital of the world, Nashville. This year my dream came true. I could record this album in Nashville - it's a double album, because there were just too many good country songs that I wanted to record and we have decided to name the album Nashville."

"I'm so fortunate to have appeared with country legends like Lance James and Barbara Ray and the others and I am so grateful that they invited me, especially now that I've released this country album. These singers were my heroes as a young girl and as a young artist. They have had so many hits over the years that they are great heroes to me today."

"Sally is the best performer in Namibia and we want to get more into the local market by using local faces and not just centre everything we do on South Africa,” he said."

"I am happy that I could make the country proud and once again, the country and Africa made me proud with their votes."
