Unity defeated the attempts of creating division between the legendary Nujoma/Po- hamba/Geingob troika and rather strenghtened the ties of leadership legacy. What Drs Nujoma and Pohamba did, was what democrats do and what is expected from leaders who have the support and faith in their citizens to be trusted with deci- sions. They spoke their mind in a responsible way and reflected the consensus of Namibians. In nearly all other democracies on the continent it would have been interpreted as serious differences of opinion between presidents, except in a maturing democracy like Namibia, where in fact the differences between presidential opinions strengthen the constitutional rights of all citizens. Namibia cannot be more different and more sovereign. The challenge is now for the privileged to give, to better the future of the marginalised and the left behind who resigned themselves to hopelessness and poverty. Moreover, not only was consensus reached, but close to 160 wide-ranging resolutions were also agreed upon. The consensus is almost as important as the ability of Namibians to identify and agree on so many issues, big and small, that must be addressed. The government and the president should be concerned about the huge amount of recommendations that the conference was unhappy enough with to list. It demonstrates dissatisfaction and simmering anger over a broad range of issues that could have been solved had communities been better represented by their respective leaders. It shows neglect and a growing divide between leaders and their communities that could lead to a communication gap of credibility. The five day conference defied the usual opportunists and pessimists and is a motion of confidence in common people that goodwill amongst themselves will always drive com- mon sense, because it is good for the future. Politicians, councillors and officials who abuse this trust should now be presumed as disqualifying themselves, and as self-styled honourables should protect first, and always serve before benefit and out of privilege. Namibians showed their intent to unite in the most difficult times. They should be supported by responsive and compassionate leaders who must have an instinct to know right from wrong. And they in turn should support and respect each other. That is the reality of crossroads.
