Swartbooi says LPM will retain Hardap, //Kharas regions Landless People’s Movement (LPM) leader Bernadus Swartbooi says his party will retain its two stronghold regions in southern Namibia in the upcoming regional and local authority elections in November. The party has shifted its focus to the November elections and will not take part in by-elections taking place on 17 June. The party will, however, endorse other opposition parties’ candidates running in the by-elections, Swartbooi said in a recent interview with OneAfrica. Speaking on Saturday at a press conference at Keetmanshoop, Swartbooi said: “We will not be shaken. We will retain our two regions in the upcoming regional and local authority elections.” He said the two regions’ inhabitants are behind the LPM as they are not convinced by the incumbent government’s leadership. He also said those trying to overthrow the LPM will not succeed as the party aims to retain its position. He added that it will carry on with its campaigns to engage community members. Swartbooi described free education for all as a far-fetched dream. He said a 100% government subsidy for education is not possible as the government is already struggling to address water issues in the country and given the fact that it is relying on foreign funding. He said the disparity between the education budget of N$24 billion and the development budget of N$12 billion is a concern. “How do you ecpect to create jobs when the education budget is double the development budget? “Now you educate students to go work where if industries are not being created. This government has failed the citizens once again,” Swartbooi said. He said his party has made strides in developing the region with more work still under way. He revealed that the party will soon present to the public its achievement report during its past five-year rule to unpack its achievements, challenges and future plans. Swartbooi acknowledged the chaos that has been happening at various local authority councils pertaining to chief executive officers and administration. One particular instance is at Karasburg, where the town’s finance manager and mayor were arrested for contravening the Local Authorities Act by changing authorisation signatures and appointing a chief executive without the line ministry’s approval. Swartbooi assured that these issues will be a thing of the past, following a new strategy adopted to address councils at Rehoboth, Keetmanshoop, Mariental and Karasburg among others, inadequate capacity and an absence of substantive CEOs.

Hardap, Erongo plot Khomas’ Newspaper Cup downfall Hardap netball team are preparing intensely as they bid to lift this year’s Nedbank Namibian Newspaper Cup. The tournament runs from 18 to 21 April at Outjo where Hardap group B rivals Erongo and Kavango East, who each lifted the trophy once, hosts Kunene, last year’s runners-up Oshana, Omusati and perennial contender the Omaheke region. Hardap Regional Netball Association (Harna) chairperson Brenda Rooi says preparations, initially at Mariental and now Rehoboth, have grown in intensity over the past fortnight as the tournament draws closer. While the prospect of facing former winners and the host region in the group phase appears daunting, it is not impossible, says Rooi, whose region intends to end Khomas’ monopoly of the title. “This year we are ready for Khomas, who are the defending champions,” Rooi told Desert FM earlier this week. She said that for too long Khomas has enjoyed the limelight, having won the cup three times in the five editions that netball has been part of the Nedbank Namibian Newspaper Cup. Hardap’s preparations were hit by challenges for the last two editions, which contributed to the team falling short of their targets. However, this time around support has been forthcoming from the governor’s office and the business community, allowing for the team to focus on the mission ahead. “They really came through, and we are forever thankful to them,” Rooi said. “We have had a lot of challenges during the past two editions. I took over as the chairperson of Harna last year, and since I took over with my executive, we have had challenges such as a lack of netball courts, playing gear and balls,” she said. “We had to rent netball attire, including balls, but we managed. At Gobabis last year, we took third place. Imagine finishing third overall after all we went through,” Rooi said. “Currently, we are aiming for the semi and final showdown at Outjo. We know that Khomas took all the silverware and they are the defending champions, but we are really going to give them a run for their money,” Rooi vowed. “We are not afraid of Khomas nor any other team.” The post Hardap, Erongo plot Khomas’ Newspaper Cup downfall appeared first on The Namibian.
