Rihanna's Trip to the Mall in Monte Carlo

Barbados-born, American singer, Rihanna shocked shoppers in a Monte Carlo mall recently when she appeared dressed in what appears to be a swimming costume and a lacy shirt...with thongs!

The paparazzi had a field day. Curious shoppers pulled out their smartphones and captured her image as she visited shops.

Rihanna always pushed at the boundaries of society and her latest stint proves no different. She appeared casual and relaxed, enjoying the attention and went about her trip to the mall as any normal woman would...with her bag in hand.

I think Rihanna deliberately wanted to show off her toned body ergo the trip to the mall, a very public and crowded place. She could have chosen to remain on the yacht where her costume wouldn't have raised any eyebrows or caused an outcry. She looks great and certainly has loads of self-confidence.

I can imagine Inspector General of the Namibian Police, Sebastian Ndeitunga, becoming epileptic with rage should it be reported Rihanna took a stroll through Maerua Mall or Wernhil in this outfit. To the inspector general, with all respect, this girl is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Tattoo: Ethiopian Coptic Cross (Meskel) Design

C hristianity arrived on the shores of southern Africa approximately 600 years ago, and unbeknownst to the bright-eyed European missionaries who disembarked from sodden ships at the Cape of Good Hope, it had been practiced on the African continent, and flourished as an independent religion for almost 1,000 years before, in Ethiopia. Today, the oldest Christian faith on the continent, rumoured to be closest in resembling early Christianity, is the Ethiopian Coptic Church (or the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church). The cross is the popular universal symbol of Christianity and across the world, in every Christian community, it remains within the parameters of a simple design (+) , almost 2,000 years old. The Ethiopian Coptic Church is the only known Christian community that produces a remarkable version of the cross, called ''meskel''; even more remarkable, this development occurred independent of the influence of European Christianity. Meskel patterns and des

PRESS RELEASE: Insight Namibia Magazine Celebrates 100th Edition (September 2013)

In a magazine market known for its fly-by-nights and flash-in-the-pans, Insight Namibia cc marks its 100th monthly edition with the September 2013 issue . The first edition appeared in September 2004 and throughout the last nine years, Insight maintained its position as Namibia's premier current affairs magazine . Originally started and currently based in Windhoek, Namibia, the magazine's founders, Robin Sherbourne, David Lush and Tangeni Amupadhi, journalists in their own right, at the time (2004) wrote that Insight was 'born out of a feeling that Namibians yearn for more than just hard news.' Readers were promised a publication that went beyond the daily headlines and covered 'the story behind the story' . The magazine was not started with a bank loan; the pioneers pooled their savings to get it off the ground and to this day, that same financial discipline, has ensured that Insight has never taken a loan to cover its operating, printing and overhead cos

DATING IN NAMIBIA: Rules to Remember (for Women)

Even though many Namibian women marry and have families while relatively young (between ages 21- 28), more and more Namibian women are single and dating, 'in the market', as they say in the West. Historically, in the not-too-distant past (23 years ago only), the movements and personal freedoms of many Namibians were severely restricted and controlled by the Apartheid Regime occupying Namibia until 1989, but fortunately, since Independence from South Africa in 1990 , the status of individuals (men and women), their rights and freedoms, are protected and enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Namibia . For example, inter-cultural relationships and marriage was illegal 23 years ago, punishable with imprisonment. Despite these amazing new changes in the status of all Namibians, our society is still remarkably conservative (especially rural communities) with regards to the relationships and interaction between men and women. Our parents, extended family, siblings and f
