The Lead Youth Commander of the Landless People's Movement's Youth Element, Duminga Ndala, has called for the active participation of young people in politics.

The LPM youth wing held its first conference at Rundu aimed at establishing youth structures in the Kavango East Region.

Ndala said young people's exclusion from decision-making would continue if they do not enter politics.

She noted that their forefathers had liberated Namibia from colonialism, and Ndala, therefore, urges the youth to channel their energy by becoming political activists.
