KEETMANSHOOP
Tensions are running high in the Landless People s Movement (LPM) as the party deals with the aftermath of deputy leader, Henny Seibeb, being dragged from the National Assembly recently.
This while allegations have arisen from Swapo s Keetmanshoop office that the LPM might have had a hand in vandalism.
On Friday, 16 April, Swapo s southern office was broken into and vandalised in what is believed to have been an arson attempt.
According to LPM, the ruling party is alleging that they had a hand in the attempt to burn down the office.
“[Matheus] Mumbala is claiming that LPM was involved in the attempt to commit arson at their office. They misadvised the secretary-general of Swapo. There aren t even any policy papers in that office, why would we want to burn the place?” Seibeb asked on Sunday.

All People s Party (APP) secretary-general Vincent Kanyetu says they will “put sand in the food” of those who continue to treat people from the two Kavango regions like “bone eaters” when it comes to the distribution of the country s resources.
The two regions, despite an abundance of fertile land and the perennial Kavango River, continue to languish at the bottom of the country s poverty charts.
Kanyetu has declared that APP will no longer allow the government to take the people from the two Kavango regions for a ride, saying that they will ensure that the rights and dignity of Kavangos are respected.
