    National Namibia Concerns ~ ~ 915 East 9th Avenue· Denver, Colorado 80218 • (303) 830-2774 November 15, 1989 Dear friends, One Namibia! One nationl That has been the rallying cry for years as we worked to bring an end to South Africa's illegal occupation of Namibia. Last week, the Namibian people took a long step toward that goal, with their whole-hearted participation in elections that have been certified as "free and fair" by the United Nations. Enclosed are reports which show the final voting results as well as the names of the delegates from each party who will meet to draft the constitution for a free Namibia. There was surprise in some quarters about the size of the vote that went for the DTA--the South African supported political party. Indeed there were some anxious hours as the DTA actually led in the vote count until the ballots from Ovamboland came in. We feel that SWAPO's 57% was very good considering that the voter registration laws, drawn up by South Africa, permitted non-residents to vote, and that .thousands of South Africans and Angolans entered Namibia to vote for the DTA. Generally, there seems to be a feeling of rejoicing--as reflected in the statement by Bishop Kleopas Dumeni ...Joy that the elections have been held and thankfulness that there was so little violence during the week of voting. In a country that has known so much violence for so many years, the relative peacefulness of the past ten days is something that we hardly expected, and for which we are deeply grateful! We plan to publish a Namibia Newsletter within the next two weeks and hope to have more stories and pictures of the election week.

Resilient nations. 2 SPOT THE DIFFERENCE 2019 DISCLAIMER Between June and August, 2019, all seventeen political parties that were registered with the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN), had been engaged to complete an interview questionnaire. Provision for face-to-face interviews had been arranged to take place in the first two weeks of August for those parties that could not meet the submittal deadline for the completed questionnaire. The questionnaire incorporated six questions addressing topical, socio-economic and political issues that were formulated to ensure that the Namibian electorate would be assisted to make informed decisions during the 2019 Presidential and National Assembly Elections. The decision to profile 13 political parties in this publication was based on their willingness to respond to the interview questions. Considering that a three-month period had been specified and communicated to all 17 parties, no political party was subjected to discrimination nor deliberately excluded from being featured herein IMPRINT Coordinators: NID (Naita Hishoono, Pandu Nghipandulwa) HSF (Dr Clemens von Doderer, Susanne Scholz) NMH (Carolin Guriras) UNDP (Geraldine Itana) Spot the Difference Editor: Rakkel Andreas is an NID publication Layout and design: NMH funded by HSF and Printing: Newsprint Namibia UNDP Publication date: October 2019 This publication is published by the Namibia Media Holdings (Pty) Ltd SPOT THE DIFFERENCE 2019 3 TABLE OF CONTENT 1.

  • National Assembly Performance
    Institute for Public Policy Research Not Speaking Out: Measuring National Assembly Performance By Ellison Tjirera and Graham Hopwood IPPR Comment No. 4 September 2009 This paper analyses the amount of contributions that members of the National Assembly made to parliamentary debate from September 2005 to October 2007 as one indicator of parliamentary performance. Although it has been speculated that some members of the National Assembly contribute very little to debates on bills and motions, as far as the IPPR is aware no research since independence has actually sought to quantify how much MPs contribute to debates in the House. The principal measure used for this research paper was the number of lines each MP contributed to debate in the Hansard – the official record of parliament. Originally, the IPPR had hoped to examine Hansard from the inception of the current parliament in 2005 until mid-2009. However, this has proved impossible because Hansard is not available from October 2007 onwards since editions have not been published since then. For this reason this analysis is based on a two-year period from September 2005 to early October 2007, which was felt to be a long enough period to make an assessment of how much MPs contributed to debate. The methodology used by this research paper is restricted solely to the amount of lines that MPs have contributed to the official record of parliamentary proceedings. No attempt is made to assess the quality of those contributions as this would involve highly subjective value judgements. This paper also does not attempt to assess how MPs may contribute to other aspects of parliamentary life, for example the committee system.

They concern the effects of foreign support on political systems and democracy itself. Finally, tyring gauge how effective support is on particular countries? In a global historical context, political party support has been a favoured instrument of European and North American governments in foreign policy. Forms of support vary, the more visible and noticeable normally being military assistance to countries like South Vietnam, Taiwan and Guatemala. During the Cold

  • Namibian Politics – Nothing but SWAPO?
    Namibian Politics – Nothing but SWAPO? Prepared by Herbert Jauch for the NALEDI Policy Bulletin, May 2008 Since independence, Namibia’s political landscape is dominated by the former liberation movement SWAPO. The ruling party comfortably controls both houses of parliament after obtaining almost 80% of the vote, and is also still able to draw large crowds to its public rallies. By contrast, the political influence of both opposition parties and civil society organisations is in sharp decline. Namibia’s largest trade union federation, the National Union of Namibian Workers (NUNW) is an affiliate of the SWAPO party, staunchly supporting the mother body. SWAPO’s history SWAPO history is closely linked to the struggle of migrant workers. It was formed in 1960 out of the Ovamboland People’s Organisation (OPO), which had campaigned against the exploitation of migrant workers and colonial occupation. The change from OPO to SWAPO signified the attempt to build a national resistance movement instead of being restricted to the Northern regions of “Ovamboland”, where about half the Namibian population resided. The regions known as “Ovamboland” were retained by the colonial administration as “communal areas”, characterised by subsistence agriculture. They were also the main source of migrant labour for the mines, farms, railways and fishing companies. Thus, SWAPO was always deeply rooted in the rural areas of the Northern regions as well as in the emerging urban working class that retained strong links with the rural areas until this day. During the liberation struggle, SWAPO won a major diplomatic victory when it was recognised by the United Nations as the “sole and authentic” representative of the Namibian people.

My optimism and hope are more fundamental; they derive from the expression: "a luta continua" . Comrade Speaker, my approach is not going to be party-political. I speak for the Congress of Democrats, but I also speak for our people and country, Namibia. I am therefore not necessarily going to be antagonistic: neither towards Swapo Party nor to the other parties in the House; I believe this is no such time.
