The leader of the Landless Peoples Movement (LPM), Bernadus Swartbooi, is convinced that the town council of Rundu can improve its infrastructure, despite outstanding debt by residents running into millions of dollars.

He said this at an LPM rally at Rundu. 

Rundu residents owe the town council N$370 million.

Namdeb Diamond Corporation has filed a defamation lawsuit against the Landless Peoples Movement (LPM) in the High Court before Judge Gabriel Oosthuizen.

According to the court documents, Namdeb, represented by Raywood Rukoro of Lorentz Angula Incorporated, is seeking that LPM be interdicted from making or publishing alleged untrue and defamatory statements about Namdeb, its directors, senior management, and employees.

The statements in question allegedly accuse Namdeb of criminal activities, including theft, fraud, and corruption, as well as unethical behaviour.
