Tempers flared during a Landless People’s Movement (LPM) meeting held at the W.K. Rover Hall in Keetmanshoop, as members demanded an explanation for the recent withdrawal of former Keetmanshoop Mayor Melody Swartbooi from her position.
The meeting ended in chaos, with Landless People’s Movement leader Bernadus Swartbooi being escorted by police to his vehicle as he left the venue.
A party insider told NBC News that Swartbooi intended to address the gathering on the oil discoveries and party structures.
However, discontent party members led by former regional council chairperson Joseph Isaack, who was recently suspended from the party, interrupted his speech, demanding answers for Swartbooi's removal.
Angry members also hurled insults during the meeting.
Before leaving the venue, the LPM vowed to expel all members who had misbehaved during the meeting.

The examples you’re mentioning are not really comparable to the Western Bypass, they are are apples and oranges. .
At Ogongo, before Outapi, and at similar locations, motorists are approaching built-up areas, shops, pedestrian crossings, intersections, schools, or areas with significant pedestrian activity. The speed environment is deliberately reduced, often to 60 km/h or lower, and traffic-calming measures such as speed humps are used to protect pedestrians and manage local traffic.
The Western Bypass is different. It is an urban highway designed to move traffic efficiently around the city. The speed limit is 80 km/h, 100hm/h to 120km/h, there are no shops fronting the road, no pedestrian crossings, and no significant pedestrian activity. Introducing speed humps on such a road would be inconsistent with its design function and could create safety risks as it already did yesterday.
In road engineering, the suitability of speed humps is determined by the road’s function, speed environment, and surrounding land use, not simply by whether it is called a “highway.”
Hope I make sense.
Qatar has held a World Cup where everyone who could afford to attend attended, wait till it's the USA hosting and they will have visa restrictions even on the players themselves 😂.
Unemployment in our country is so bad that people are just walking into any office & dropping off their CVs. Degrees in business administration etc & they're saying "anything is fine. Even cleaning".
Windhoek is no longer a place for beginners. This isn’t the place to come find yourself. Those of us who came here over 20 years ago pity the younger generation: we came w/t degrees and made a living, but you come with degrees and end up on the streets. It’s a different Windhoek.
