The Landless People's Movement Leader, Bernadus Swartbooi, has cautioned the party's top leadership to guard against ethnic division, regionalism, and self-interest.

Swartbooi sent out this warning at the party's political action committee's Leadership and Organisation Capacity Building Workshop, held in Windhoek.

Swartbooi says leaders must look beyond ethnicity and regionalism to achieve party objectives.

Being a leader is the toughest challenge for any human being, says Swartbooi, as they are often vilified and forced to face criticism.
