I have much praise for the PDM leader McHenry Venaani. I am also proud of Nudo leader Ester Muinjangue. Add UDF’s president Apius Auchab for attending the independence celebrations. Those who snubbed the event, will you ban Independence Day when you rule the country by any chance?

President Hage Geingob too did well to extend invitations to these leaders. They are leaders because they were voted into parliament.

Unfortunately, African politics is so toxic that such maturity is misconceived as bootlicking but those who would want to cast the nation in a bad light.
