Bernardus Swartbooi, leader of the Landless People's Movement (LPM), has called on President Hage Geingob to send back the Zimbabwean Ambassador to Namibia.

The LPM added its voice to that of various opposition parties in the SADC region that denounced the August 23rd and 24th Harmonised General Elections in Zimbabwe.

According to preliminary reports by SADC, the African Union, and several international election observer bodies, elections in that country fell short of several constitutional requirements.

Landless People's Movement (LPM) leader Bernadus Swartbooi has informed the National Assembly of his intention to table a motion that would see the recognition of historical Damara and Kavango traditional leaders of the colonial resistance period of the German reign.

Swartbooi's motion will include Hompa Nyangana waMukuve of the VaGciriku, who lived and reigned from 1840 to 1924; Hompa Hiwarwa-Ithete of the VaKwangali, who lived and reigned from 1860 to the early 1903 period; and Gaob Kai Xamseb of the |Khomanin, who lived and reigned from 1812 to 1889.

The LPM is the latest to condemn the killing of Elleste Plaatjie allegedly by two police officers. 

Plaatjie succumbed to injuries he sustained after he was allegedly beaten by Nampol members attached to the Special Reserve Force at Keetmanshoop.  

Addressing a media conference at Keetmanshoop, LPM leader Bernardus Swartbooi urged the public at large to speak out against what he termed as police brutality.
