Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Self-exciled academic Joseph Diescho on Sunday said he feels much safer in a Namibia under the leadership of Swapo\u2019s presidential candidate, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah.<\/b><\/p>\n

The analyst left Namibia for Germany years ago, saying he does not feel safe in Namibia.<\/p>\n

Diescho attended Swapo\u2019s manifesto launch on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He yesterday accused former president Hage Geingob of having monitored his movements.<\/p>\n

Geingob has in the past denied Diescho\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n

Their relationship turned sour when the political analyst was removed as the executive director of the Namibia Institute of Public Administration and Management (Nipam) in 2015.<\/p>\n

Diescho has since accused Geingob of discrediting him and blocking his appointment at state-owned entities.<\/p>\n

The academic has been claiming Geingob deliberately chased him out of the country through his actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe head of state would monitor where I was sleeping and say it in public,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, Diescho said he is also in the country to observe political parties\u2019 manifesto launches.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo at least meet some of the leadership while the ground is wet. I don\u2019t want to hear rumours, I want to hear it and look them in the eye,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Diescho said Swapo is the only party he has joined in his life.<\/p>\n

He said after attending Swapo\u2019s manifesto launch on Saturday more than 10 people called him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they would not have done that during Geingob\u2019s time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Press secretary Alfredo Hengari yesterday said Diescho was never in danger under Geingob.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Geingob was a top leader of Namibia and always acted above board in the interest of each and every Namibian and consistent with the Constitution, which he pledged to uphold until the end,\u201d Hengari said.<\/p>\n
