Seems to me that there are few people who have to let off some steam!
Working for a government or parastatal is never easy but i don't really think that people truely understand the role that ATC's play in the day to day role of aviation, especially in the safety arena!!!!! and how important they are (even to us pilots although we won't admit it out loud) but they have a job for a reason with great responsibility!!!
If this thread helps get a cross the message to someone with power, about the plight of Controllers in Namibia then i think that something has been achieved. (just like a few years ago when there was an expose on Carte Blanche about ATNS. The information had to be made public to improve the system)
