Swapo Party Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah said the party seeks to renew its mandate with the Namibian people come November 27.
Nandi-Ndaitwah said the party's main aim even before independence has always been to liberate Namibians politically and economically.
Her speech was read on her behalf by the Swapo Party Central Committee and Politburo member Frans Kapofi at a fundraising dinner in Windhoek to support the construction of the new office for the Moses ||Garoëb Swapo Party Branch.
"Now that we have attained sovereignty and political independence, the task of liberating ourselves economically has begun. We are committed to taking Namibia to the next level of inclusive development and prosperity for all while maintaining our democracy, peace, and stability, which we have upheld for the past 34 years. Peace and political stability that we have enjoyed for the last 34 years remain the conditions precedent for economic development."
The Swapo Party Coordinator for the Moses ||Garoëb District Branch, Eliaser Shipanga, said currently they have no fixed abode to operate from, hence the need to have their own building.
The dinner guest raised over N$130,000, with the highest pledge coming from former Ohangwena Governor Usko Nghaamwa, who served as the special patron, of N$50,000.
The Gala dinner was held under the theme: The future is female for inclusive economic development.
