Tuesday, May 20, 2008 - Web posted at 8:31:45 GMT Flags don't belong on trees: RDP's Nyamu OSWALD SHIVUTE at ONGWEDIVATHE acting Secretary General of the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP) has called on Swapo to remove its flags from trees, shops and houses. |

"I have never seen in the world that a political party puts its party flag on top of national trees, shops, cuca shops and houses. Those trees are for all people, belong to different political parties," Nyamu said at a rally at Ongwediva on Saturday. "It is unfair to blindly dominate others in that way. Mature political people do not do that," he said. Nyamu had first called upon RDP members to take down Swapo flags, but then apologised and said Swapo members themselves should do so. RDP supporters should not put up their party's flags anywhere but at party offices or where a party meeting is being held, Nyamu said. He said Swapo was now so desperate because of the formation of the RDP that it was resorting to character assassination, insults and assaults. Speaking at the same occasion, the former regional councillor for Ongwediva, Kandi Nehova, said the Mayor of Ongwediva, Erastus Uutoni, was not elected by the people of the town. He said Uutoni and some other Ongwediva town councillors came into power in 2004 "by force", because they were rejected by the people of Ongwediva. "Uutoni must be careful, I give him only one and a half year, I will kick him out of here, through a democratic process of voting him out during the coming elections," Nehova said. |
