The Swapo Party joined the rest of the country in wishing Founding President Sam Nujoma a happy 95th birthday.

In a media statement, the party says the life of the Founding President continues to inspire all to work for a better Namibia, freed from the shackles of poverty, hunger, and oppression of any form in human society.

The Swapo Party Regional Coordinator for the ||Kharas Region has urged the party's pioneers to sensitise eligible voters to go and register for the November general elections. 

Mathew Mumbala made the call at the Pioneers Movement regional elective conference at Keetmanshoop. 

The Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL) is mandated by the party's constitution to be custodians of the Pioneers Movement and thus must ensure its structures are active. 

Swapo Party's Otjozondjupa Regional Leadership urged the Grootfontein Municipality to immediately stop the execution of the contract with Red Force Debt Management.

The party's regional coordinator, Imms Namaseb, says the party will also address their councillors from the Grootfontein Municipality for non-compliance. 

The Swapo Party on Friday marked 64 years of existence since its foundation on April 19, 1960, with its eyes trained on the upcoming national elections.

In a message to party members, Swapo Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah called for unity as the party prepares for the upcoming elections.

Mourners gathered at Farm Snip River in the ||Kharas Region to pay tribute to late Swapo Party liberation struggle stalwart Ida Jimmy-!Ha-Eiros during the official memorial service. 

Jimmy-!Ha-Eiros died on April 3 at the age of 79.

Delivering the message of President Nangolo Mbumba, Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila says the liberation struggle icon in her political journey encountered immense hardships, torture, and imprisonment at the hands of the colonial regime oppressors. 

Four political parties in Zambezi Region have commended the late President Hage Geingob as a leader of note who committed himself to Namibia's prosperity.

Political parties remarked on this at a regional memorial service organised by the regional council.

The National Democratic Party (NDP) representative, Success Musialike, noted that Dr. Geingob set a bar high for all Namibians in upholding high etiquette, values, and morals.

Angola's ruling party and a sister liberation movement, the MPLA, has added their voice of sympathy to its Namibian counterpart, the Swapo Party, following the untimely death of Namibian Leader Dr. Hage Geingob.

The MPLA, in a statement, says it is saddened by the death of Geingob.

It says the late President Geingob was an icon of the liberation struggle and a national symbol who dedicated himself with total availability and a spirit of sacrifice, especially in defence of the ideals that guided the long process of the struggle to achieve Namibia's independence.

Three Swapo Party ||Kharas Regional Council office bearers are challenging the council's decision to relieve them of their duties without remuneration.

They are Lazarus Nangolo, Suzan Ndjaleka, and Taimi Amakali.

Their council membership was terminated for various reasons, including absconding from council meetings and refusing to accept nominations to serve on the council management committee.

Swapo Party Secretary General Sophia Shaningwa has expressed deep sorrow at the passing of Professor Gerhard Totemeyer. 

She described Professor Totemeyer as a freedom fighter who played a pivotal role in the struggle against apartheid, advocating for justice and equality.

His commitment, Shaningwa says, was evident in his involvement with the Swapo Party, where he joined a delegation in Zambia during the liberation struggle. His relentless efforts culminated in the realisation of Namibia's independence.

The City of Windhoek has again postponed a meeting to elect two additional management committee members.

The meeting, scheduled for earlier Thursday afternoon, was postponed because there were no nominations for the two management committee members.

The meeting will now happen on February 8.

Last year, the City of Windhoek only managed to elect three management committee members out of the constituting five.

All three members are from the Swapo Party, following an unexpected coalition between Swapo and Nudo.
