@e_kantema Great news, congratulations to all the activist that faught the withdrawal CSE commitments. Afriyan in particular.

@edward_mumbuu @Jemaihma @SadeGawanas I think you conflate two different sets of ideas as one, on the one hand is the misguided notion that development resources should be withheld, the other is a realist notion that we will differ and clash in respect to what needs to be done and how.

[Mandela Kapere @kapere]

@edward_mumbuu @Jemaihma @SadeGawanas I admire your noble sentiments, they express a viewpoint I hold instinctively myself, but views like ours are naive of the reality that politics is a highly contested terrain. Again, it's also what makes democracy wonderful, here ideas can compete, triumph or be defeated.

[Mandela Kapere @kapere]

@edward_mumbuu Clearly not, they are don't speak for me or the party.

[Mandela Kapere @kapere]

@Jemaihma @SadeGawanas @edward_mumbuu There will be clashes of policy, it's a given, considering the system in place and the outcomes of the elections.

[Mandela Kapere @kapere]

@Jemaihma @SadeGawanas @edward_mumbuu I would have used a different line of arguments personally, perhaps words but normatively, she is correct, the idealogical and policy differences between parties are diametrically in opposition. Swapo will defends and advance its policy stances and others will do the same.

[Mandela Kapere @kapere]

They should emphasize institutions and procceses but ensure that "small men and women" don't get forgotten in the labyrinth of our bureaucracy.

[Mandela Kapere @kapere]

I am beginning to accept that as the SWAPO Party, we must be more resolute about being a center left political party, rather than a broad spectrum left party. Going FORWARD, clearer political identities will become an imperative.

[Mandela Kapere @kapere]

The future of Namibia politics lie left of center in the political spectrum, they must be modern, pragmatic, knowledge based and agile, be growth orientated but people centered.

[Mandela Kapere @kapere]

Now you just showing off boet 🤣🤣🤣, we need another sit down to catch up

@fireshikomba Well said

@Ohamutumwa Black Godfather isn't it?

[Mandela Kapere @kapere]

@FasihaHassan happy birthday my dear friend and Comrade, I hope that we be granted greater opportunity to learn from your revolutionary optimism and moral fortitude.

[Mandela Kapere @kapere]

@ShadowsOfWolf_ Let's go vote for our part today but beyond that let's make sure we shape a new narrative for our party. We need younger people to be part of a movement towards a better, bolder and more competent version of ourselves.

@An_thropologist @MariusSheya @SPYLOfficial @SWAPONamibia No doubt my Comrade

The Polisario Front says Morocco has broken a 29-year ceasefire, sparking a return to war. The Front representative at the UN @SidiOmarNY wants Morocco to "stop its aggression". Listen to his interview here:
