So, before we fire people by fax, organise a nice little accident or distribute a list of hibernators at the congress, step back and think.

When we wake up on Monday not much would have changed in Namibia. Do not be fooled by the screaming headlines and colourful front pages with gloating, bloating and dejected faces plastered on it.

Disasters abound. Utoni Nujoma will still be our Foreign Affairs Minister, we'll still import milk, toilet paper and hand towels from South Africa, we'll still be paying brutally debilitating tax rates and Lukas Pohamba will still reside in the Windhoek-east constituency under an RDP councillor.

For all the haphazard campaigns, dirty tricks and shifty endorsements we've seen in the last few weeks, the new Swapo VC won't take over from Lukas on Monday.

Unfortunately we'll still have to wade through the lame duck part of President Pohamba's second term. Some say he was a lame duck since his second year in office, others might agree.

I still hope something terrible or terribly exciting happens and all three candidates get disqualified and Kazenambo Kazenambo, Elijah Nguarare and Paulus Kapia run against each other. Not that I want anyone of them to become VP, and therefore President of the country, but don't you think the campaign will be something to behold. It will be like an all expenses paid weekend in Katutura. It will have everything; drama, debauchery, comedy, blood and some people's furniture will be repossessed. It's gonna be quite an afternoon.

But until then...

As much as I hate to say this; doos is koning but Pohamba is still President of Namibia. Bummer!

Ja, the same Pohamba who would rather have hordes of Chinese labourers flooding our building sites than have Namibian workers take those jobs. The same guy who helplessly complains about shit he's supposed to fix. Ja, we'll still have Pohamba not making decisions.

Our favourite anti-corruption champion was so serious with that message he mentioned, “we'll have zero tolerance for corruption and waste” , only once in his inaugural speech.

Why are we surprised that government is haemorrhaging money like its on a particularly savage menstruation cycle and spends upwards from a cool million dollars a day on S&T?

It's Pohamba who is making a kambashu out of our State House and has geniuses like Knowledge Katti pay half-a-million bucks for a plate of food there. It's the same President who mentioned Sam Nujoma six times and education and training together only three times in his inaugural speech.

“I pay tribute to all the workers of this nation. It is their diligence and dedication that have transformed the economy of this country from a colonial economy to a free, participatory economy. It is their toil that continues to sustain and nourish the economy, that continues to give us the means to tackle the nation´s developmental goals. We are aware that some of our workers work under very harsh and inhumane conditions for a mere pittance, in most cases. Our Government will ensure that the new Labour Act that my predecessor promulgated last year is brought into force shortly. It is a comprehensive legal framework to deal with many of the problems that confront our workers.”

These wonderful words come from Pohamba's inauguration speech. They were apparently aware that some workers work under very harsh and inhumane conditions for a mere pittance, in most cases, in 2005.

It's 2012 and guess what?

In 2005 land belonged to the privileged few, houses were unaffordable, the prices of commodities were sky high, fraud and corruption was the order of the day and half the workforce was without a job.

It's 2012 and guess what?

And when we finally see Pohamba's back in 2015, nothing would have changed. In fact, we would be worse off than in 2005.

Where's that cup of tea? I want to throw it in someone's face!
