Swapo president Hage Geingob says he has noted with concern a trend in which white Namibians have been registering themselves “in big numbers” to vote in the upcoming regional and local elections next month.
Geingob charged these people “declared war” against the ruling party and want to vote for “anything else but Swapo”.
This was despite Swapo making sure that white people enjoy peace, unity and comfort for “all this time”.
“I have never seen it that way, and they said anything else but Swapo”, he said about the numbers of white voters registering for the elections.
“I have noted that and I will not forget that. People are declaring war against Swapo. Swapo who made them enjoy peace and unity, enjoy their comforts. The comforts they have enjoyed all this time and you declare war against Swapo. I heard you,” Geingob said.
The president made the remarks in Windhoek when he launched Swapo’s campaign for the regional council and local authority elections scheduled for 25 November.
