Africa-Press – Namibia. LANDLESS People’s Movement (LPM) leader Bernadus Swartbooi has questioned the capabilities of candidates competing for the Swakopmund constituency seat in the town’s upcoming by-election.
This took place during his party’s candidate announcement rally at Swakopmund on Saturday.
“We looked at the candidates. We should be crying tears if you see how irresponsible some parties have been in placing candidates who cannot do anything for Swakopmund.
“It’s ugly. Some people were just taken and put on the ballot paper,” he said.
Swartbooi also took on the fishing, mining, and tourism industries, which he accused of not helping to better the lives of Erongo region residents.
“You look at Karibib where there is a mine. That town doesn’t look like a town with a mine. You look at Husab and others. Where is the money going?” he asked.
LPM by-election candidate Hilaria Musheko did not make any promises during her first campaign on Saturday.
She said promises have been made for 32 years, with no results.
“I will not do it to you today either. All I can say is that at LPM we have solutions for your problems.
“The LPM is the only party with solutions,” she said.
Musheko called on the electorate to vote responsibly, and especially for her, who is aware of Swakopmund’s shortcomings.
