27 September - 03 October 2018 EDITORIAL 7 SHOONPLYR!I!T!E Flipside Every Monday: CHRIS JACOBIEBugye1t 1BuFrregeer DIVISION DIVERTS 14N$ .99 NAMIBIANS have over the years developed a sixth sense about politics and are Lilets 8's pads 2 packs rarely wrong.SPECIAL UNTIL 30.11.2018 Their sixth sense was proven correct many times in the past and now again events demonstrate that internal upheaval cannot be supressed by artificial unity. Experience also has proven that engineered democracy is only a short-term solution to a specific challenge at a specific time. Although it served Namibian independence well over the past 28 years, engineered democracy does not and never will replace democracy by popular vote. The eventual destruction of the mighty apartheid National Party, the unravelling of the DTA of Namibia to a shadow of its former self, the ongoing court battles between OvaHerero traditional and political factions, the disempowerment of the Baster Com- munity and the near collapse and irrelevance of the Swapo-affiliated trade unions should serve as a lesson to those in denial that eventually it should be dealt with. The President, Dr Hage Geingob, and his team have a hard job pulling Namibia out of the mud of economic recession and in seeking solutions for some of the most pressing challenges Namibians face and still have to face. Additionally, Namibia assumed the Chairmanship of the SADC Region in the turmoil of internal political division and, rightly so, a lot is expected from President Geingob to provide leader- ship from which the whole region must benefit. To be effective in the national interest he must rely on the loyalty and efficiency of his comrades, but especially the assistance of party structures and affiliates. Swapo and leaders appointed by Dr Geingob should be the first to appreciate the close to 90% majority of Dr Geingob, because they benefit from any leader that is more popu- lar as the party as Dr Nujoma and Dr Pohamba have proven in their second terms. However, they are not suddenly more popular and influential. Namibia cannot afford leaders of self-interest on a crusade of obvious political survival. A nation beleaguered by economic hardship, rising living costs and fewer opportunities needs inspiration and transparency on every front. It will not happen if there are leaders in towns, villages and regions that strengthen the belief that behind the back of the top Swapo leadership, Swapo is battling itself on various fronts. Examples of mixed signals are plenty, but a few must serve as an example of what can be misunderstood. This week, the Ohangwena Governor, Uusko Nghwaama, surprisingly caught most off-guard with a warning to Oukwanyama subsistence farmers in the Ohangwena area that ageless traditional grazing areas in Angola are to be closed and that Namibian cattle are to be confiscated by Angolans. Nobody needs to be part of a meeting between Uusko Nghwaama and the Angolan government in southern Angola to realise that this must be an insensitive distortion of Angolan/Namibian-reality. Yes, it is known, and more or less common knowledge outside the air-conditioned offices of Windhoek, that Angola previously complained about Namibian cattle herders who are abusing the grazing lands of Angola by additionally developing mahangu fields and thereby depriving people of the grazing areas for long periods of time. What is also new and disturbing is that some Namibians are installing chiefs on the Angolan side which should rightly be stopped by both Namibian and Angolan authorities. Not long ago, the centenary of King Mandume Ndemafayo, one of a few exception- al men in the history of the world who was declared a national hero of two different countries – Angola and Namibia, was commemorated by the Ovakwanyama of both countries at Omhedi and Oihole. If there is a better example of good and fraternal brotherhood between two com- munities divided by a cruel colonial imposed border that is respected by both, the Oukwanyama of Angola and Namibia, it is yet to be seen. In another turn of events, an association of charismatic churches, whatever it is sup- posed to mean or represent, insisted that they be part of the powers of traditional au- thorities, because they “also work with the people.” In a Namibia that presumes that everyone should work for everyone, “to work with people” can hardly be a qualifica- tion to decide on land allocation. Churches took land away in history and are some of the biggest land and property owners in Namibia. Why should these takers now be trusted to be the fair distributors of land? There are church leaders who humiliated traditional leaders and practices like the recent Olufuko cultural festival, but now want to assist the leaders they despise in allocating land. It is just ridiculous and proves that there are too many outside government and political structures who want to rule without running the risk of elections and subse- quent rejection. With more than a year before the next presidential, parliamentary, regional and municipal elections, Namibians cannot help to experience a sense that emergency brakes have been applied to what always seemed an exciting national adventure towards transformation and inclusivity and still should be a journey to nationhood. The President and Chairman of the SADC region, Dr Hage Geingob, a long time ago, famously invented the truth that democracy is not cheap. He should have added that it also means that it can be costly if national trust is be- ing eroded by those in the party leadership that feel themselves exempted from the national leadership and good governance. For the sake of transformation and a better Namibia also, reckoning must also be inclusive.
