The Affirmative Repositioning Movement in the Zambezi Region says people should not see the organisation’s silence over the past years as a weakness.

The AR's Regional spokesperson Lilungwe Mutafela was responding to criticism that the organisation was silent when houses were demolished at Lwanyanda Informal Settlement.

Mutafela said AR is aware of those complaints and is looking for solutions.

The AR, Mutafela says also plans to relocate those who were affected by the demolishment as well as formalising its structures in the Zambezi. 

“So today we have over 150 people from all the four corners of the region who came for education, to come and listen to how we are re-organizing and pushing with the formalization of the movement in our region.”

Mutafela also congratulated Netumbo-Nandi Ndaitwah on her re-election as the party's Vice-President.

“We would like to begin by thanking Swapo Party for hosting a successful elective congress. We would like to thank, Hon. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, our Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of International Relations for emerging victorious as the presidential candidate for the Swapo Party come 2024 election.
