    Red face Elections in Namibia

    If the allegations by the National Society of Human Rights that there are irregularities in the recruitment and appointment of candidate registration officers and or their assistants for the supplementary registration of the voters at the newly proclaimed town of Omuthiya are true, then I think the Government should go out of its way to address them, clarify them, resolve them - whatever it takes to ensure that the process is not only within the law BUT HAS INTEGRITY AND IS RESPECTED BY ALL PARTIES CONCERNED.

    What is happening in Kenya at the moment is a timely reminder what stolen - or perceived stolen elections - can result in - nevermind the farce called elections in Zimbabwe.

    We must avoid these situations from even arisingAT ANY COST otherwise the holding of elections becomes meaningless and a farce. A waste of everyone's money, dreams and hopes. I'm looking forward to a response to the NSHR's allegations.

    Hear, hear Comrade_007. But I fear that the temptations to meddle are too strong, and the prize seen to be too big. It takes great men to resist this temptation, and great nations grow from out of the vision of great men. Will we be a truly great nation if this is happening?

    Default Elections in Namibia

    Hi Uncle Paul,

    Can you tell us why they always discover after the elections in Namibia sealed ballot boxes or are this simply stories from the press?

    Still, the election remain free and fair as ever before in Namibia.

    our milage may differ, but as far as I can remember sealed boxes of post-independence elections have never been discovered in Namibia.
    I think there was a case in 1999 when the DTA "discovered" some pre-independence local election ballot boxes somewhere in the north at a police station ........

    Maybe other shebeeners can augment the info ......

    Dear unregistered, I have always had the hunch that SWAPO was never a fair and just leader of the Namibian peoples, that includes the census that goes hand in hand with the majority propaganda of the politics in Namibia and also to the human rights issue of the Lubango issue, all stuff that never seem to get proven in any court of law. The land deform issue is another sore point(the GRN refer to it as a de-centralization strategy, but funny enough no one else gets 'relocated' to the northern regions that used to be oshiwambo land, but hey it is o.k. to 'resttle' the former ovamboa land dwellers to the /Gobas/Omaheke and every where ese even down south in Namibia), chronyism, employment for selcect few(oh and the unequal salary strucutres/wealth distribution, the aprtheid regime did it and it was wrong, but nowadays we get it from the Swapo ranks, people getting 40 000 and some getting only 3000, anything wrong with this?), mass marginalization, now the attempt at 'ruling' the Media, which was our only source of truth be told.... you are stating to be in a position of providing some proof, can we have it/can u share it and get these uncertainties out of the way once and for all???As it is, one never know when ones opinions/hunches or observed truths for that matter lands one in hot soup

    I dont know whats happening with the postings today, but my question was that the unregistered user provides his proof on the irregulareties pertaining the elcections. I for one never believed in SWAPO, they have been there for own gain, legalized mass marginalization, took advantage of their power position to run the land deform program, aimed at benefitting a selcet group('resettling fomrer ovamboland dwellers in the rest of the country, but failing to do the same for the rest of Namibia, e.g. to 'relocate' to the former ovambo land), keeping developmetn efforts solely up north, claiming all wealth forth coming from mines and other resources in the rest of the country knowing very well that the only 'wealth' former ovamboland can produce is mahangu, same thing done with employement and lucrative bussiness rights in Namibia, creating the unequal wealth distribution, having unequal salary structures, and being silent on the Lubango issue, now attempting to handicap the only source of truth in Namibia, the Media. All these point to a very wrong leadership for our beloved country. Hence, do you really have any proof, remember, these guys have mastered the art of disguise and mass silencing to the extend we ignore the naked truth on a conitnious basis, if you have proof thus please come out with it, and if you come out with it, can you really achieve any concrete change?. As it is speaking the truth usually ends up landing us in hot soup

    The thanks is for this sentence and this sentence only:

    Quote: ! dont know whats happening with the postings today, but my question was that the unregistered user provides his proof on the irregulareties pertaining the elcections. Unquote..


    The rest of the quote is juikk's own opinion and I do not wish to comment.
