Dear Sir
I read your column from the Editor’s Desk last week and agree with the idea to show Pres Chavez the state hospitals that are in shambles with the hope that this modern day Robin Hood will offer to renovate them.

However, visitors to our country are never shown anything bad about Namibia. Typically such VIPs are taken to the fish factories at the coast, the diamond sorting floor of Namdeb, the Nakara fur factory and the new Sate House so that they can return to their own countries believing that we in Namibia are prosperous and in need of nothing.
They will return believing that we have first class medical facilities, no AIDS orphans and a well off population with a high level of employment.
