Marthina K. Mutanga

For the past 7 years, Sylvia Ndemoongela, 65, has been making a living collecting camelthorn seeds and selling them to farm- ers for N$50 per sack along the Okahandja highway. “I worked at a garden for years and the garden closed down, so I was left jobless and I needed to generate money to pay for my seven children’s school fees. I decided to collect the camelthorn seeds and to start selling them and the sales are so good that I could continue putting bread on the table,” said Ndemoongela. She added that her children are now grown and can take care of themselves, but that she decided to continue selling the seeds to feed herself. On a good business day, said Ndemoongela, she can make as much as N$500. During the dry season, fallen flowers and pods are eaten by livestock such as cattle, donkeys and goats. According to a study, the pods are highly nutritious and are collected in commercial and communal areas to feed domestic stock in times of drought.

“We are deeply troubled by the socio-economic crisis that is unfolding in Zimbabwe and the repression of large-scale protests in the country, following the Government’s decision to increase fuel prices,” said spokesperson Ravina Sham- dasani. “We call on the Government to find ways of engaging with the population about their legitimate grievances and to stop the crackdown against protesters.” Speaking to journalists in Geneva at the regular biweekly press briefing, Ms. Shamdasani called on the authorities to ensure that the country’s security forces handle protests and exercise their power – especially the use of firearms and live ammunition – strictly in accordance with the country’s international human rights obligations and the relevant prin- ciples. These include legality, necessity, proportionality, precaution and accountability, she explained, before noting that there had also been also allegations of “generalized intimidation and harassment” by security forces, who had allegedly carried out door-to-door searches. Last month, a national commission appointed by the Gov- ernment of President Emmerson Mnanagagwa found that the military’s use of live bullets during deadly post-election violence in August was disproportionate and unjustified, PIC OF THE DAY Ms. Shamdasani noted. A baby boy was captured playing in between stones at the Five Rand informal settlement in Okahandja. “The bottom line is that the use of live ammunition by secu- Photo: Marthina K Mutanga rity forces was used, excessive force was used,” she stressed in relation to the latest protests. “We don’t have verification on the exact number of people who were killed or injured, THIS WEEK IN TRUSTCO but there are doctors’ associations that are putting numbers out there, likely more than 60 people were treated in hospital for gunshots wounds.

25/01/2019 - 27/01/2019 Flipside WEEKEND CHRIS JACOBIE VALUE! Myth and Reality POLITICAL parties, candidates and voters who create and believe the myth that the 2019 election campaign can only start with an official announcement, are ignorant about N$ 99 democracy. It is even more a pity that it is displayed in public. UHT for . The misunderstanding about campaigns maybe stems from an internal party arrange- Bread7 Standard White/Bread ment of Swapo that the election campaigns of the various contestants for positions at con- Shoprite gresses should start on a specific date, forgetting that a party culture is hardly a national and obligation. It is time to consider facts. USave With the near unstoppable development of electronic information platforms, including close to addictive fake news that is built on insults and character assassination, election only campaigns will gain momentum and it will be ugly. It will be laced with more poison of suspicion, aimed to divide and it will prove that “made in America” is like “made in China” where not everything that is imported to Namibia is useful. A relentless internal Swapo election campaign remains underway since 2012 and is not N$ 99 a small matter. The Swapo lists of candidates for the National Assembly, National Coun- cil, Regional Councils, Town and village Councils will have a bigger influence on voters’ 15UHT Nam Milk 1Lt. turnouts than the vote count itself. The ongoing rebellion in Swapo and controlled town councils have nothing to do with party loyalty or democracy, but rather with so-called candidates clinging to power for personal gain where councillors and parliamentarians present themselves as self- appointed gods amongst mortals. This reality is not a message from ancestors, but those that are humble enough, that N$ 99 care enough, are respectful enough and are tolerant enough, hear it from the debates on the pavements, on street corners and the taxi-parliament where the election campaign is Marathon64 . White underway for a long time already. The lack of respect for citizen’s talk is a lack of humil- Sugar 5Kg ity and it is worse than a lack of accountability. The current internal debates amongst comrades might be unusual for Namibians accus- tomed to a party that relied on secrecy during the liberation struggle, but actually it proves N$ 99 a healthy, stable-, tested and growing multiparty constitutional democracy. Some statements from activists might be crude and tasteless to some, but it can only 69Bakpro. Cake Wheat Flour happen in a strong democracy where freedom of expression is protected. Not only prom- 5Kg ises and demands are heard, but Namibians will eventually also judge the tone of voice. Reality is also that the candidate lists of opposition- and new political parties will not be less of a challenge than the mountain Swapo will face when electing it candidates. It is already an ethnic, gender and generational minefield for representative democracy and it will be difficult if not impossible for some to shake off the perceptions. Some of the opposition parties might find it impossible to field enough candidates to contest in all N$ 99 constituencies. Some will not escape the suspicion of tribal interest and others might not strike a gender balance. Polana69 . Macaroni The sword of legal remedy for all sorts of internal issues that should have been settled 3Kg by internal democracy, still overshadows almost very political party, including Swapo. The official opposition, the former DTA of Namibia, rebranded themselves, NUDO, the Workers Revolutionary Party (WRP), RDP and Congress of Democrats are embroiled in internal leadership struggles, while constituents like the former SWATF/KOEVOET fighters contemplate forming their own party. Alliance talks are underway and others col- lapsed before it started. N$ 99 The political battlefield is overcrowded with no shortage of targets due to the economic slowdown, adverse climatic conditions and poverty that is always handy to be politically 2Hardap Soup. abused again and again as so many times in the past. Namibians have lost their innocence and by now know that political parties and leaders cannot promise themselves into power or gossip others out of leadership. N$ 99 They know that to win elections a few things must conspire. The voters must believe that a party has a realistic chance of winning and that opposition can be an alternative and 56QF Real Good Chicken. 1.5Kg guarantee peace. And as unusual, it seems the possibility is there that Swapo and its leadership might not desire to improve on their historic majorities, because it created impossible expectations and additionally contributed to the arrogance of power of those that benefit from party lists and will never challenge for votes on their own. N$ 99 The ballot box is not a coffin where commitment to a better Namibia and the plight of its citizens are buried in as soon as results are announced, but the gift box of responsive 16.Instant Maize Meal government and dialogue to meet the expectations of Namibia and all its citizens winner Top Score and loser alike. Assorted The history of the freedom struggle, the constitution and independence are a genesis of unity, peace and stability where both the winners and losers accept victory and defeat with grace and continue to contest and fight another day. In Namibia, elections are not a myth but a duty, and Namibians will prove it again just as they did every five years since Independence. The love of country is a powerful national force that endured much and can endure much more, because freedom and Independence was hard earned and therefore appreci- ated and cherished. Namibian Elections are the ties that bind, not the dagger that cuts apart. 8 BUSINESS 24 January - 30 January 2019
