Swartbooi officially recalled
Following rumours of a recall by Swapo of Bernadus Swartbooi circulating on social media last night, the firebrand politician and outspoken land activist has just been recalled. The chief whip of the Swapo Party, Eveline Taeyele, has just delivered a letter to Swartbooi. This follows a politburo meeting last night.
On Monday, Swapo secretary-general Nangolo Mbumba told Namibian Sun the ruling party will deal with the parliamentarian over controversial comments he made at the weekend in Keetmanshoop.
Swartbooi, who is part of the Landless People’s Movement, had used a Keetmanshoop event to criticise the ruling party’s governance style, among other things. Mbumba said the party leadership had been following the developments closely, adding that the party would deal with the matter internally.
