The Landless People's Movement (LPM) will commit a budget of N$500 million towards sports development and offer coaching programs to help young people refine their talents. 

These were among several promises made by the LPM Leader Bernadus Swartbooi at the party's meeting at Rehoboth.

Swartbooi also promised to provide free land to people residing in urban areas if elected to power.

"This matter of land free of charge in urban areas is a big deal because it reduces the expenses that the person will have on building a house. And as a party going forward, that is what we are saying in our manifesto: land in urban areas will be given free of charge because the black majority have no property. We are saying that we will immediately stop the system in which our children are pushed out of primary and secondary schools so that the child who is enrolled in grade one proceeds to grade 12 and goes on to some level of university and vocational training. That is why we are also saying for specific activities that are relevant to building this country's economy and to creating jobs."

He said the party has already delivered on its promises in the housing sector.

Swartbooi, however, warned its supporters of the dangers of self-serving politics.

"The politics of the belly has destroyed so many societies. So many countries have been destroyed because of the politics of the belly, because politicians begin to focus on what matters for their own personal and private well-being, not the well-being and aspirations of the people who voted for them, and they continue voting for them."

Swartbooi urged supporters to stand firmly behind LPM in the upcoming elections on November 27, stating that the party represents a new hope for a better Namibia.
