Former Deputy Mayor of Keetmanshoop and councillor of the Landless People's Movement', Charlcyta Cooper has resigned from the party.

Cooper said she will hand over her resignation letter to the LPM. 

Cooper was elected deputy-mayor after local authority elections where the Landless People's Movement received four seats on the Keetmanshoop Municipal Council. 

Cooper informed nbc News that she and another councillor will soon hold a media conference to announce their resignation from LPM.

A group of residents at Katima Mulilo in Zambezi staged a demonstration, demanding land delivery from the Town Council.

The demonstrators are also accusing the Town Council of allegedly failing to implement development projects promised during the elections.

"Unnecessary suspension of employees became rife here in Katima Mulilo Town Council, the delay of interview results, resulting in the appointment of any staff to occupy department positions which they or one does not qualify for."
