Thread: SWAPO & RDP not Good for Namibia?

Read this. It may help to understand or confuse

OZYMANDIAS by Percy Shelly

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remain: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away

OZYMANDIAS by Horace Smith

In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.
We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragments huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

—Horace Smith

Incidently there are two versions telling the same story. We are not as big and clever we think we are. Some modesty may help.

a coalition of Namibian opposition parties? That is an unlikely scenario. If the two top of people of the one party (COD) need to go to court to sort out differences, a coalition will dissipate all its energy in similar infighting. The ego still triumphs over the common good.

Complete rubbish talk that parties should merge, why are they called parties? because they all have different manifestos.

We can forget about A merge to defeat Swapo or RDP,

I still maintain that a merger would be in the best interest of the Namibian people, maybe then all the riches of this country can be optimally allocated and avoid the shameful fact that our politicans fail to feed a handful people with loads of resources.....I would say that their failure is indeed the 'load of what you jux mentioned above'.....so in all there is hope for politicians if they make people their first and formost concern when they draw up their so called manifestos, that in itself can make a merger possible.....will be back with more soon

well, if you are convinced, why don't you start. Let's see how far you get!

that is quite a lack of common sense dear, me not aving a party, but that do not mean i should not have an opinion about them, afterall I am a tax payer....smart counter there jay, b as they say, common sense is not so common, aight then

will do as much good as painting the Chinese black. No change

Well , maybe 'paintin the chinese black' will have it's advantages, it may alter the way 'the chinese' are viewed by the majority and consequently may change the behavior and reactions of 'the chinese'? LOL!!!

WOW!, So much for our noble dream of all small parties merging......New hopefully not tiny movement noticed on the radar of Tribal politics in the Nam: DPN (Democratic Party of Namibia)....man oh man, where is this going to end? Guess we were daydreaming major deal if we thought Political maturity can bring about improvement in their ideology and consequently impact positively on the progress of this Nation, aai tox...so much for wishful thinking, albeit still maintianing a merger of this tiny parties would be the best thing for the Nam.....sigh!
