WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

CALLING some sectors of the political opposition “Satan” and “enemy” 20 years after Independence is bad for Namibia’s democracy and shows that the ruling Swapo party fears the opposition, the leader of an opposition party has said.
“Swapo must really be afraid, otherwise they would not use such hate speech and pull down opposition posters from street poles every night like is happening in Windhoek West,” Ignatius Shixwameni, president of the All People’s Party (APP), said yesterday.
“It is very low for a Swapo leader and governor of a region to say opposition parties are from Satan,” Shixwameni said, referring to Erongo Governor Samuel Nuuyoma, who said this at a recent rally at the coast.
The APP president further lashed out against Swapo vice-president Hage Geingob, who allegedly said at another rally that the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP) was “sleeping with the enemy”, hinting at the recent political marriage between RDP and the Republican Party (RP). The RP is led by a white Namibian, Henk Mudge.
“I fail to understand how Geingob, Namibia’s first Prime Minister, who preached national reconciliation 20 years ago, could stoop so low and now call whites the ‘enemy’ – that is undemocratic,” Shixwameni said.
“White Namibians are part of the whole population in this country, so such remarks just indicate to me that Swapo seems to fear the opposition parties quite a lot.”
If the code of conduct that governs political parties’ behaviour during elections was legally binding and could result in penalties to be paid for such utterances, hate speech would be curbed, added the APP leader.
“Unfortunately the Electoral Act is weak and the code of conduct is a toothless instrument. It is time the Electoral Act gets overhauled and we will push for that from early next year,” Shixwameni said.
The APP president said his party members were very irritated by people removing APP posters in Katutura and Windhoek West.
“This happened in the Moses Garoëb constituency and two weeks ago the APP laid a charge with the Police and the suspect is known, but they have not done anything,” Shixwameni complained.
He added that in the past few nights unknown people have been removing APP posters from lampposts virtually “every night.”
“The next morning they are just gone,” he said.
Police spokesperson Chief Inspector Angula Amulungu said he was unaware of the charges laid by the APP.
“Bring me the case number,” he said. “Police Inspector General Sebastian Ndeitunga last week called on all political parties to stop removing and destroying each other’s posters,” Amulungu said.
Lieutenant General Ndeitunga made the request last week on two different occasions.
Meanwhile, DTA president Katuutire Kaura says he is quite optimistic that the opposition parties will maintain their political hold over the Kunene Region as in the last 20 years.
“We are confident that together with the UDF the Kunene Region will remain with the opposition,” Kaura told The Namibian.
“We have very strong support in the Epupa and Opuwo constituencies while I am convinced the UDF will retain its hold on Kamanjab, Sesfontein and Khorixas.”
Asked about the stone-throwing between Swapo and DTA supporters last Saturday at Opuwo, Kaura replied: “Some areas in Namibia seem to be no-go areas for opposition parties.”
Kaura said he was confident the DTA was not waning.
“We are not a fly-by-night party; we have been here for a long time. The DTA is in the hearts and minds of the people as we can see by the large groups of young Namibians joining the DTA.”
He said many DTA candidates for the local authority elections are young people. “The youngest DTA candidate is only 21 years old,” Kaura said.
