Kapia and Angula are elected by the people

I AM responding to your opinion regarding Comrades Kapia and Angula.

I would not wish to dwell too much on the details of your opinion,

but let me comment on (just) two issues - not that the rest do not

need to be challenged:

1. You referred to the two as "self-appointed guardians of this

nation"

 

ANSWER: No, Ma'am, these two may not represent some of you, but

they are definitely not "self-appointed", they are elected by the

people (the majority I may add).

 

Need I remind the editor that I expressed [the opinion] not too

long ago, that some of us are also worried that she [the editor]

behaves like she were some "guardian angel" for Namibia? I hope

not!

 

2. The editor asked; "Who does Kapia think he is to determine

who should leave ....?"

 

ANSWER: Cde Kapia is expressing the opinion of many.

 

Flabbergasting for some (in this case the editor), who has

always attempted to determine for us who should lead or rule this

country, she is pissed off by another citizen trying to determine

which judge should stay or not.

 

Coincidentally, one can be a judge in this country without

necessarily being a Namibian.

 

It should therefore be no surprise that a Namibian could - if

they so wish - call for that person to "pack and go".

 

After all, the editor also insults us, the voters, by implying

that we voted for the wrong leaders! We do not vote for judges, but

as citizens - though not owning newspapers - we still reserve our

(entrenched) rights to FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION!

 

To sum up, the two (Comrades Kapia and Angula) (surprising as it

may be to you) actually represent and speak for more people than

you do, otherwise how do you reckon, they got elected? The

Europeans have taught us many things, most of which are not

relevant to us but some are like " ... he who lives in a glasshouse

should not throw stones".

 

I am sure the editor understands this better!
