Rundu-based social enterprise Let's Walk the Talk faces a bleak future after Sikanduko Headwoman Masandu Rabana threatened to take back a plot of land on which the center is situated.

Let's Walk the Talk founder Beatrice Sitali has, however, refused to budge, accusing Rabana of trying to sell the piece of land to the highest bidder.

Sitali, a psychosocial counselor and trainer of trainers, founded the Let's Walk the Talk project to provide necessary life skills to women, particularly those living with HIV and Aids.

She says Rabana was supportive of the project then and offered an 18-hectare piece of land to the center in 2016 to carry out its activities.

The headwoman, says Sitali, has since taken back most of the land, which she allocated for residential purposes, leaving only 1.4 hectares.

"Meme Rabana Masandu does this, when I gave her back the piece of land she did not tell people that I have given her so when we sat with representatives that's when they noticed that I gave her the other potion already and when I asked her what's going on with the other land because you are not doing the project you told me you are busy cutting and selling what is happening she said don't worry I know what am doing."

Sitali says hundreds of women, orphans, and vulnerable children are benefiting from the activities of the project, with up to 300 support groups formed in Kavango East alone.

She says women are trained in tailoring, gardening, and poultry whenever the organization gets sponsorships.

Rabana, however, accused Sitali of managing the project as personal property and lamented that people from Sikandu were overlooked.

"Many things are coming to the project, but I don't see anything; tinned fish, rice, and macaroni are all things that I just hear. She never came to tell me that we had received this. Come and see. I never saw any of the orphans or vulnerable children she claims to be helping. Recently, she received sawing machines, and I only heard that she did not give them to even those people in her project who are from Sikanduko. I don't know what's happening there. She was supposed to inform the person who gave her the land of what was happening there."

The headwoman also claims the land was her parent's crop field, and if it is not being utilized for the purpose it was obtained for, she has the authority to repossess it.

Lets Walk the Talk is a partner organization of the National Network of Aids Service Organizations (NANASO).
