The decline in trust for liberation parties in SADAC is quite evident; one example that's close to home is the ANC, but today we take a look at why swapo in particular no longer resonates with the people of Namibia. In Namibia, this warning was evident in the 2019 elections, when sections of Swapo’s support dwindled at national, presidential, regional and local levels. It seems as though the liberation mantra that “Swapo is the people, and the people are Swapo” no longer resonates with the majority of voters. We speak to Afro-Expert in Democracy, Governance & Human Rights, Tapiwa diamond Chadya on the decline in trust for liberation parties in SADAC and the postponement of the Namibian elections following the death of Hage Geingob, who has been hailed as a veteran of the country’s liberation struggle and its first post-independence prime minister.

The programme is the brainchild of the late Professor Christof Heyns, who at the time envisioned a national schools programme that will prepare young minds to be leading academics and lawyers in society. Heyns also saw such a programme as a gateway to conscientise successive generations of young thinkers by introducing them at school level to our Constitution and its underpinning human-centred values. We are in conversation with Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, Advocate Shireen Said on the  programme and how it encourages young minds to ask pertinent questions about human rights and how best to apply the values of equality, freedom and dignity in their lived experiences.
