Windhoek Mayor Muesee Kazapua has denied claims that the municipality is unresponsive and uncooperative in making land available for the Massive Urban Land Servicing Project.
This project will lead to the servicing of 200 000 plots following an agreement between President Hage Geingob and the leaders of the Affirmative Repositioning (AR) movement recently.
“This is a directive from the President, part of the local government and we are part of the central government. Why would we be unresponsive and uncooperative?” asked Kazapua.

Expelled Secretary of the Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL) Elijah Ngurare has provided Namibian Sun with a letter he had written to President Hage Geingob regarding his expulsion, in which he said that he was kicked out because of vengeance and not justice.
This was after a letter was leaked on social media, apparently signed by Ngurare, in which he purportedly accused Geingob of hating those who did not support his party vice-presidential bid in 2012 which culminated in him becoming Head of State.

The Namibia Farm Workers Union (Nafwu) says the battle between it and former Secretary-General Alfred Angula is far from over because the union still wants the missing money and a vehicle that belongs to it.
Nafwu’s newly elected Secretary-General, Rocco Nguvauva, yesterday said Angula is not off the hook despite the fraud case against him being removed from the roll of the High Court.
Nguvauva said the union had a meeting with the Prosecutor-General last month where they were informed that the fraud case against Angula was still under investigation.

This follows a letter dated July 31 from the Deputy Labour Commissioner Tuulikki Shikongo who directed the secretary-general of Nafwu Moses Kativa that the congress should not take place as it violates a High Court order.
