THE Swapo Party must reclaim the opposition-controlled councils in the local and regional election slated for Friday.
This
was the appeal to Swapo Party members, supporters and sympathisers by
fisheries and marine resources minister Bernhard Esau at a Swapo rally
held at the Keetmanshoop's JS Stephanus Stadium on Sunday.
“We
must liberate Keetmanshoop and Karasburg (councils) from the control of
the opposition. If you are not in control, there will be no development
and prosperity,” said Esau.
Saying the Swapo government still
faces challenges such as unemployment and control of economy and wealth
though it has brought changes in the context of economy and social
aspects, Esau remarked: “We want to see factors of production of our
country in the hands of our people”.
This, Esau added, will
only happen if the Swapo Party exercises control over the means of
production that include land, labour, capital and entrepreneurship
through the mandate given by the electorate.
Esau said there is no way for people to ignore the peace and stability Swapo has brought after independence.
Furthermore,
Esau urged the party members and supporters to remain united in action
and purpose, and to guard against attempts by opposition parties to
divide them in their bid to win the elections.
Also speaking at
the rally, //Karas Swapo Party regional coordinator Mathew Mumbala
thanked the party members for having behaved orderly during the election
campaign, and encouraged them to go out in numbers to vote for the
party.
“We (leadership) have done our part and have now put the
trust in you the party members, supporters and sympathisers to go and
vote for the correct party,” Mumbala added.
