Govt Killing Secession Suspects?

ALLOW us to respond to a news article which was published in The Namibian newspaper of Friday 04 January 2013, titled “Treason trial death leaves family with questions”.

It was reported in the said article that “the family of the late Branson Kwala… are still looking for answers about the illness that claimed his life.” It was further reported in the same article that “… his family is still in the dark about the cause of the condition that claimed his life”. This means that the doctor(s) who treated or operated him failed to explain to the family as to what exactly could have caused such a strange medical condition.
It was reported at his memorial service that his intestines were found torn and twisted when operated. Obviously, whatever damaged his intestines was consumed during his 13 years of political detention because high treason prisoners have themselves been telling their families that they are served with food which is mixed with cement.
Reading between the lines, the death of Branson Kwala does not require rocket science to conclude that he could have been poisoned. Some intelligent political leaders like McHenry Venaani, Job Amupanda or Charles Siyauya may also reach this logical conclusion and we cannot expect government to admit it at this stage.
