UNPACKING THE DAY WITH JOHN (17 SEPTEMBER 2026)
John JP Lenga unpacks a two-decade pattern of procurement abuse — from NDF food contracts in 2003 to the N$123 million fence tender in court today. The N$540 million hostel food tender awarded to the Namibia Training Authority, an agency with no legal mandate to supply food. And Ohangwena: one of Swapo’s strongest strongholds, 6,414 criminal cases in 2025, 52.8% unemployment, N$168.8 million in development budget — 85.3% less than Khomas — yet Helao Nafidi handles 70% of Namibia’s import trade routes into Angola. Includes an educational break on how the Procurement Amendment Bill would legalise abuse, and a call-in on who holds power accountable.
