WINDHOEK â€" Swapo Party National Assembly candidate for the November election, David Namwandi, has appealed to born-frees to cast their votes for the party because of its credentials.
The prominent educationalist made the call when he recently addressed a rally of 400 people in Khomasdal North in Windhoek, where he was canvassing for votes for the ruling party whose popularity will once again be tested when voting takes place late in November.
Namwandi, who if the Swapo Party wins, could possibly land the education portfolio because of his track record to build the International University of Management (IUM) from an obscure tertiary institution to a local university of note, says the born-frees should not be confused.
"I would like to send a special message to the born-free comrades not to be confused by some politicians who don't have long-term vision, let alone strategies to rule this country," Namwandi told the crowd some of them spotting the party's colours of blue, red and green.
He stressed that Swapo Party's mandate should again be extended because it has maintained peace and stability, rated number four on the African continent in terms of good governance and that it prioritises the education sector that receives the largest chunk of the national budget.
Seemingly popular in the party despite being a political novice, Namwandi also amplified the message being disseminated by the country's leadership to the electorate to desist from any acts of political hooliganism and to wholesomely embrace political tolerance.
"We remain true to our policy of national reconciliation, because Swapo has seen how revenge, tribalism and racism have destroyed nations," stressed Namwandi.
"While at this juncture, I would like to use this opportunity to invite all Namibians to rally behind Swapo and give Swapo yet another mandate to continue with the implementation of its progressive programmes," he told the Swapo Party rally.
Among issues that are regarded priorities by the ruling party are the expansion of the economy that will ultimately lead to the creation of more jobs, the eradication of poverty and the improvement of the standard of living, he stated.
"The building of a strong democratic and proud nation remains our important and immediate goal," rallied the parliamentary nominee.
Namwandi also paid homage to the fathers of African revolutions, who resisted colonialism, namely: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, Patrice Lumumba of Congo, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya, David Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, Nelson Mandela of South Africa and Namibia's Founding President, Dr Sam Nujoma.
