Some Swapo Party Women’s Council (SPWC) members in the Kavango East Region argue that the recent attacks and calls for the removal of beleaguered governor, Bonifatius Wakudumo, is part of an alleged ploy to dislodge Swapo from its north-eastern stronghold.
This remark is contained in a petition addressed to President Hage Geingob by a group of Wakudumo’s supporters who yesterday marched through the streets of Rundu.
The group condemned the demands of anti-Wakudumo protesters - who marched in the streets of Rundu on 29 December 2020, calling for the removal of the governor after he appointed a Chinese-born Charlie Min Xie as one of his 20 advisors on development in the region.

Swapo will not remove Bernard Esau and Sacky Shanghala from its Central Committee, and Politburo in the case of the latter, unless they are found guilty in the ongoing Fishrot scandal, party spokesperson Hilma Nicanor has said.
The party is under pressure to remove the two men, implicated in the bribery scandal and in jail since November 2019, from its leadership structures.
Late last year, the Politburo deliberated on the possibility of removing the two former ministers, but that did not happen. Swapo recalled the two from parliament when the Fishrot scandal surfaced more than a year ago, and banished them from the party parliamentary list before the 2019 general election. The move was seen as a ploy to hoodwink voters into believing the party did not condone the alleged acts of the two members, but the fact that it has not acted internally, thereby making Shanghala and Esau part of the decision-makers in the party, gives a different impression.

Oral history related to Ovambandja people is an interesting phenomenon, especially when the kingship succession is considered.
Ovambandja/Aambandja are a unique sub-tribe of Aawambo people in the northern Namibia who are known for inhabiting the area called “Okalongo” today.
Given the colonial formation and interpretation of the collection of kingdoms as countries in Africa, the name Okalongo actually means a small country/kingdom ; it is a historical fact that African people never lived as countries as colonialists put it, instead they lived as communities in beautiful kingdoms led by Eehamba/Aakwaniilwa as ultimate rulers and symbols of final authorities of such kingdoms. The concept of countries that we are forced to embrace today through the Roman-Dutch law were and are still alien to Africa today.
