The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, James Sankwasa, has appointed a committee to investigate the Vaalgras Traditional Authority leadership succession dispute. 

Minister of Urban and Rural Development James Sankwasa has met with the Khomanin community after previous meetings over the leadership failed to produce results.

The community had demanded to meet the minister directly after the previous engagement ended in chaos.

A dispute has emerged among the founding members of a Karibib multipurpose cooperative over its ownership and membership, with both sides presenting different views on who has the authority to lead the organisation.

The |Khomanin Traditional Authority has described the vote of no confidence elections against Gaos Juliane Gawa!Nas and her council are illegal.

The traditional authority argues that the community members in question did not follow the right procedures for the elections. 

Members of the Landless |Khomanin Association have initiated a formal process to remove Gaos Juliane Gawa-!Nas and the entire traditional council, citing a vote of no confidence.

The no-confidence vote is scheduled for 16th May.

Dr. Hoze Riruako, the leader of a faction of the OvaHerero Traditional Authority, has called for peace within the community of OvaHerero amidst a bitter leadership dispute. 

This weekend saw both factions congregating in Okahandja for two separate Red Flag Day commemorations.

Some Swapo Party members in Kapako in the Kavango West Region are accusing the leadership of discrimination and intimidation.
