Nandi-Ndaitwah urges Swapo members not to make empty promises

Swapo presidential candidate Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has urged party members not to make empty promises.

Nandi-Ndaitwah made these remarks at Swapo’s public manifesto discussion in Windhoek on Monday.

“As your leader, I don’t want us to make statements to our people that we cannot implement. Implementation must be the key in everything we are doing,” she said.

Nandi-Ndaitwah called on party members to understand the manifesto in order to implement it.

“I would like to see many of you interested to understand the details of this manifesto, because its implementation will be done by all those who are going to work in the government and in the private sector,” she said.

Nandi-Ndaitwah, who has been a cabinet minister since independence, highlighted the value of public-private partnerships.

She called on party members to implement the promises made in the party manifesto in both the public and private sectors.

“Turning vision into reality means ensuring that our manifesto is not merely words on a page but a true roadmap, guiding us toward real, tangible progress for every Namibian,” she said.

Meanwhile, Swapo secretary general Sophia Shaningwa said the party’s presidential candidate won’t implement any new initiatives during her tenure but will continue the work of former presidents.
