Former Karibib Town Council chief executive officer (CEO) Lydia Kandetu says she is prepared to take on current political heavyweights to fight for the presidential seat in the upcoming November elections.
Speaking to Desert Radio on Wednesday, Kandetu said she is confident because God has prepared her.
“I pray to God and he has prepared me. The season is shifting and this is my time.”
Kandetu said she has been touring the country over the past 12 years speaking to young Namibians about the concept of self-sustainability.
“I’ve had the privilege of visiting 37 towns in 14 regions to sell the vision of sustainability. As a country, we can move towards self-reliance and build the country ourselves,” she added.
Kandetu was dismissed as Karbib CEO in 2012 for taking leave without the town council’s approval. A reason she vehemently disagrees with.
On Tuesday, she announced on her social media platforms that she would be launching her Innovation Movement on an undisclosed date.
She joins Ally Angula, Rosa Namises and Jeremiah Kaambo, who have all declared their interest in running as independent candidates.
