IF ever there was a hypocrite among us, it is our Namibian Government.
When hearing the governmental statement about Palestine/Israel recently, I had to think about Zimbabwe. Did we ever hear something like that with our Government taking a position on Zimbabwe? No.
So, as long as the Namibian Government doesn’t condemn the wrongdoings of Robert Mugabe in neighbouring Zimbabwe, it has to ‘shut up’ totally. It is of no positive use to judge and condemn happenings far away on another continent, if you tolerate gruesome inhumanities in your neighbouring country. In Zimbabwe the people have been oppressed for years and our hypocritical leaders are obviously very pleased and not worried about this. But is something is only far enough away, these shameless leaders cry wolf. It is sickening.
