The Swapo Party regional
coordinator in the Oshikoto Region, Armas Amukwiyu says hate speech expressed
by some party members targeting supporters of those presidential candidates who
were not victorious during the 5th Swapo Party Ordinary Congress held in
December last year is divisive.
Amukwiyu expressed shock over the
sudden attack on some businessmen by a member of the party at a gala dinner
attended by business people and members of the Oshikoto regional leadership at
Omuthiya recently. "The person (name withheld) reportedly claimed that the
very same people who did not support Dr. Hage Geingob's campaign for the vice
presidency, are the very same business people who pretended to owe total
allegiance to Geingob." Amukwiyu did not mince his words describing such
attitudes as counter-productive and an insult to the vice president, who has
been described by the rank and file of the party as the unifier in the ruling
party. "Swapo Party operates on a set of rules that promote democracy in
all its activities and name-calling will not be tolerated in my region.
