We Demand What Is Ours

I AM a ‘struggle kid’ who never saw my father; neither do I know from where he came. I understand that his absence in my life is because of my freedom as well the rest of Namibians and I have acknowledged that fact.

But it doesn’t mean I’m 100 percent happy because if he was here at least he could assist me a lot in many things. But now that I’m a so-called ‘struggle kid’ I feel so bad to see our own government mistreating us as if we are not human beings like others, especially our Swapo leaders. They are saying we should go for studies and they are not providing us with any funds or at least a way that we can be placed in institutions for those who still have the heart to study further.
They should remember that it is because of our mothers’ and fathers’ blood that was shed for this country to be free and for them to enjoy today whatever they are enjoying – living a luxury life and driving expensive cars of their choice etc.
We are just demanding what belongs to us and what we were promised during the first registration of the children of the liberation struggle and nothing more.
