Give us back the mandate,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The VP continued: \u201cAs your presidential candidate, I want to assure you that the team you have decided to send to parliament will not fail you once mandated and under my leadership, be rest be assured your government is in the right hands and that it will deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NNN, as Nandi-Ndaitwah is affectionately known, told the crowd Swapo is in the region on a mission aimed at consolidating their democracy and protect the revolution to continue its developmental agenda for the better future of our people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am directing all party members, supporters and sympathisers to conduct themselves in the most respectful and peaceful manner during the campaign, on election day and beyond, we must resist all provocations with dignity, \u201c said the veteran politician.<\/p>\n<p>She further underscored the fact that the upcoming elections will be dominated by young people as the majority segment of registered voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is, therefore, important to underline that it is time our young people not only to played their role by exercising their democratic right to vote, but also to determine the future they want,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>She told the rally that the region is positioned as a powerhouse of economic development in Namibia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is the hub of the emerging industries and the centre of Namibia\u2019s clean energy mix, which includes, solar, wind and wave,\u201d she said in justification of her statement.<\/p>\n<p>The Vice President then recommended that the nation prepares the people in the region to get maximum benefits from these resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must get prepared particularly considering the high-rate of unemployment among the youth in the country of which \/\/Kharas is not an exception,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>She emphasised the pressing need to prepare young people in the region to take up the employment opportunities to be created from these emerging industries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the natural resources belong to all Namibians, it is therefore, our responsibility to ensure that all Namibians benefit from these resources,\u201d the VP stressed.<\/p>\n<p>NNN also gave an assurance that Swapo is fully committed to prioritising small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to enable them to fully participate in all sectors of the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur success is determined by the knowledge and the skills we must have locally, thus the importance of education and training is therefore key to success,\u201d she cautioned.<\/p>\n<p>Demonstrating how the Swapo-led government attached importance to education and training, she highlighted spending in education and health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the next five years, Swapo has committed through its manifesto to gradually upgrade clinics to primary health centres and gradually deploy medical doctors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have prioritised the provision of mental health facilities, including the setting up of nationwide rehabilitation centres among others, \u201cshe said.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the agriculture section, Nandi-Ndaitwah said it is the key sector that will not only grow the economy, but will in addition ensure that once fully optimised, no Namibian will go to bed hungry and further become a sector that has a potential to create more jobs at different levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere in \/\/Kharas, with some progress made in relation to the land around Neckartal Dam, I want to assure you that time has come for the dam to feed the region and the nation,\u201d said Nandi-Ndaitwah.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that the government is committed to accelerating the productivity of green schemes to enhance national food production for food security and job creation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must get to a stage where we do not allow red tape and bureaucracy to affect our service delivery and as a result must all commit ourselves to perform our duties ethically and with integrity as such, corruption is the enemy of development and as such you must reject it,\u201d said Swapo\u2019s presidential candidate.<\/p>\n<p>The party\u2019s regional coordinator, Mattheus Mumbala urged government officials to continue striving towards delivering quality services to all citizens in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is hereby my humble plea that we should vote for Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah to send her as our next president to State House,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Swapo secretary general Sophia Shaningwa reiterated that Nandi-Ndaitwah is and will be the party\u2019s sole presidential candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNetumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has been submitted, recorded and registered as the Swapo party candidate in compliance with the Electoral Commission of Namibia\u2019s requirements and regulations,\u201d she emphasised.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a
