PO Box 62 Ruacana, Namibia. Springbok Avenue, Ruacana There can be no greater insult to the Namibian spirit and sense of justice *A Subsidiary of NamPower than to remind Namibians to be grateful for the crumbs that are tossed their way. Namibian tolerance is not an amnesty to the rest of the world to say what they think and demand more respect and gratitude than most Namibians care to demand for themselves. In Namibia, respect is still something to be earned and not for something or someone who is dressed in a designer suit and a vocabulary like a dictionary. Namibians cannot but feel insulted by the new Chinese ambassador Zhang, making it his priority to express disappointment in the negative reports about Chinese nationals involved in poaching and wanting more positive reporting and Namibian gratefulness towards Chinese generosity. In a double insult and an ill-disguised attempt at advancing the rejected Chinese/NAC-airport tender Zhang dismissively and in a blackmailing style told his audience that Namibia will not get “thousands of Chinese tourists” because the airport is too small. His attempt at diplomatically canvassy for a tender failed and the more reason to qualify Chinese companies tendering for the airport extension. The implication that Namibains are to stupid to understand is offensive. Zhang, because of the severe control of Chinese authorities over news, officials and its citizens might not be aware that Chinese nationals are in Namibian courts for tax fraud and corruption, while the President of Namibia, Dr Hage Geingob, had to turn to the courts to cancel a Chinese airport construction tender that was inflated. Additionally, Namibians are proud and do not need Chinese generosity that rips through their human and natural rescources devouring everything in its path. If prime Namibian beef is not good enough for consumers in China, but every crawling and breathing creature in Namibia is eaten serious doubts must be raised about this friendship. Maybe it is time for China to learn from Cuba, a true Namibian friend.The economic invasion and march of China into the Namibian land of opportunity after Independence passed over the graves of thousands of Cubans who sacrificed their lives for Namibian during a war for freedom and justice. Yet Cuba did not and still not demands gratefulness. Typical of those who arrive after the battle to claim a stake in victory when never experienced a shot fired in anger and out of believe and conviction. Namibia will never be able to repay the Cuban sacrifice, but the nation is revered and will remain comrades for life. Namibia will not only have to learn to say NO, but strengthen their guard against those who can spot a weak spot to ruthlessly exploit. The ill-conceived plan for a donkey abattoir at Outjo, stubbornly driven by the Outjo municipality and Chinese interests, must be told NO! If the pride of the nation Namibian Beef is not good enough donkey cannot be good enough. Common sense and not science should prevail in this potentially Chinese/ Outjo partnership from hell. It completely ignores the reality about the economic, cultural and development value of the donkey in the Namibian society and the country’s development. There would have been no grain surpluses in the Northern subsistence farming areas were donkeys not ploughing crop fields and gardens. On the roads in Namibian backwaters, donkey carts are carrying passengers to nearby towns and villages for shopping and to ferry water from taps to homesteads. The problem that Namibians have with their best Chinese friends is that they are sending the worst to Namibia. The Chinese ambassador does not have to assist Namibia in preventing poaching. Namibians who always respected nature will be those that protect it. What the Chinese government can do to repair its reputation is to send its much- admired citizens to Namibia and keep their criminals behind the Great Wall that was built by a civilization of thousands years of culture still universally admired. Sadly, the best of China is absent in Namibia, because Namibians don’t say NO like the Chinese say NO when their national interests come first.

PO Box 62 Ruacana, Namibia. Springbok Avenue, Ruacana There can be no greater insult to the Namibian spirit and sense of justice *A Subsidiary of NamPower than to remind Namibians to be grateful for the crumbs that are tossed their way. Namibian tolerance is not an amnesty to the rest of the world to say what they think and demand more respect and gratitude than most Namibians care to demand for themselves. In Namibia, respect is still something to be earned and not for something or someone who is dressed in a designer suit and a vocabulary like a dictionary. Namibians cannot but feel insulted by the new Chinese ambassador Zhang, making it his priority to express disappointment in the negative reports about Chinese nationals involved in poaching and wanting more positive reporting and Namibian gratefulness towards Chinese generosity. In a double insult and an ill-disguised attempt at advancing the rejected Chinese/NAC-airport tender Zhang dismissively and in a blackmailing style told his audience that Namibia will not get “thousands of Chinese tourists” because the airport is too small. His attempt at diplomatically canvassy for a tender failed and the more reason to qualify Chinese companies tendering for the airport extension. The implication that Namibains are to stupid to understand is offensive. Zhang, because of the severe control of Chinese authorities over news, officials and its citizens might not be aware that Chinese nationals are in Namibian courts for tax fraud and corruption, while the President of Namibia, Dr Hage Geingob, had to turn to the courts to cancel a Chinese airport construction tender that was inflated. Additionally, Namibians are proud and do not need Chinese generosity that rips through their human and natural rescources devouring everything in its path. If prime Namibian beef is not good enough for consumers in China, but every crawling and breathing creature in Namibia is eaten serious doubts must be raised about this friendship. Maybe it is time for China to learn from Cuba, a true Namibian friend.The economic invasion and march of China into the Namibian land of opportunity after Independence passed over the graves of thousands of Cubans who sacrificed their lives for Namibian during a war for freedom and justice. Yet Cuba did not and still not demands gratefulness. Typical of those who arrive after the battle to claim a stake in victory when never experienced a shot fired in anger and out of believe and conviction. Namibia will never be able to repay the Cuban sacrifice, but the nation is revered and will remain comrades for life. Namibia will not only have to learn to say NO, but strengthen their guard against those who can spot a weak spot to ruthlessly exploit. The ill-conceived plan for a donkey abattoir at Outjo, stubbornly driven by the Outjo municipality and Chinese interests, must be told NO! If the pride of the nation Namibian Beef is not good enough donkey cannot be good enough. Common sense and not science should prevail in this potentially Chinese/ Outjo partnership from hell. It completely ignores the reality about the economic, cultural and development value of the donkey in the Namibian society and the country’s development. There would have been no grain surpluses in the Northern subsistence farming areas were donkeys not ploughing crop fields and gardens. On the roads in Namibian backwaters, donkey carts are carrying passengers to nearby towns and villages for shopping and to ferry water from taps to homesteads. The problem that Namibians have with their best Chinese friends is that they are sending the worst to Namibia. The Chinese ambassador does not have to assist Namibia in preventing poaching. Namibians who always respected nature will be those that protect it. What the Chinese government can do to repair its reputation is to send its much- admired citizens to Namibia and keep their criminals behind the Great Wall that was built by a civilization of thousands years of culture still universally admired. Sadly, the best of China is absent in Namibia, because Namibians don’t say NO like the Chinese say NO when their national interests come first.
