Swapo Party Member of Parliament Elifas Dingara says he will honour the invitation by the Hambukushu Traditional Authority when he returns from his official trip aboard and explain how the alleged illegal fence came about.

However, Dingara denied fencing off the area illegally, saying he consulted the surrounding communities to curb stock theft.

Dingara says the escalating crime of stock theft prompted the community to look for alternatives because reporting to the police alone was not addressing the problem.

The Hambukushu Traditional Authority is demanding answers from Member of Parliament Elifas Dingara for allegedly fencing off a large piece of land without its permission in the area of Kambimba in the Mukwe Constituency.

The Fumu of the Hambukushu Traditional Authority, Erwin Munika Mbambo, says the land allocation and fencing procedures are clear and that a consent letter must be obtained permitting such activities.

The Hambukushu Traditional Authority's spokesperson Ervin Disho has called for unity among followers of the tribal authority.

The call comes after Fumu Erwin Munika Mbambo won the case in the High Court, in which a concern group  challenged his chieftainship
