Swapo is the only party that stands for truth – Iithete
• BY Staff Reporter
Swapo Party Member of Parliament Natangwe Iithete has urged the community of Ogongo to continue supporting Swapo, as it is the only party that stands for the truth.
Iithete spoke during a mini-rally held at Epangu village in the Omusati Region on Saturday, saying that they should put aside their differences and rally behind Swapo if people want to continue to enjoy peace in the country.
“We are now free, and most of the development was made through the peace brought by Swapo and if there was no peace then we would have not seen any development taking place in this country,” he said.
He added that peace could only be brought into the country by the Swapo party fighting the colonial oppressor, and no other party was fighting to liberate Namibians like the Swapo Party.
Iithete stated that they should tell their children the truth, that the Swapo Party is the only party that tells the truth and does not hide around fake promises, and that they should know the country’s history.
He also noted that the colonial oppressor is the cause of poverty that many Namibians find themselves in, and ever since Swapo took on leadership, they have managed to come up with plans to address food security in the country, constructed schools, hospitals and brought other essential services closer to the people.
Further, Iithete indicated that no political organisation could guide Namibians to better times, such as the Swapo Party, which fought for Namibia’s independence.
“Numerous opposition parties have come and gone without fulfilling their commitments to the nation’s advancement. Let us help Swapo lead the Namibian people for the benefit of future generations,” he said.
He added that the Swapo brought peace, and it is because of the peace brought by the Swapo that they can live freely.
Iithete stressed that they were colonised for too long, yet Swapo liberated the people.
He urged people to have faith in Swapo, the only party concerned with the welfare of all Namibians, rather than falling for the tricks of newly founded political parties.
“Many of these individuals came from Swapo, so we cannot have people claiming to want to clean up the system they were a part of when they had the opportunity to do so in the past,” he added.
He then urged the people to vote for the Swapo Party during the 27 November 2024 Presidential election and for Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, the party’s first female presidential candidate.
Iithete also called on former party members who had left to return, saying that Swapo is ready to welcome them back.
