She invited members and the public to attend the anniversary celebrations and the inauguration of the party\u2019s new national headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>The President stressed that while diversity of thought within the party is important, it must remain anchored in shared values and principles. She cautioned against individuals who use modern communication platforms to spread falsehoods and create division.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must remain focused and reject such efforts in the strongest terms,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting government progress under the 8th Administration, Nandi-Ndaitwah pointed to initiatives such as the operationalisation of the National Youth Development Fund and the full subsidisation of registration and tuition fees, aimed at expanding access to higher education and empowering young people.<\/p>\n<p>She said these interventions demonstrate the party\u2019s commitment to improving livelihoods and building a more equitable society, adding that such gains must be protected and effectively communicated.<\/p>\n<p>The President further urged party leaders to remain disciplined, responsible and united in their conduct, noting that internal debates should strengthen rather than divide the movement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Party leaders, we are charged with ensuring that the SWAPO Party remains strong, united and forward-looking,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She concluded by calling on members to recommit to the ideals of the liberation struggle and to work collectively towards shaping Namibia\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Namibia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
