APP youth in dark over hearing
A trio of All People's Party (APP) youth, including the leader of its youth league, say they have not been informed of a planned disciplinary hearing.
This follows a recent decision to place youth league Sebastian Ntjamba, as well as two other youth wing members, Kaghugongo Shinereshu and Hendrick Haikera on suspension for alleged disrespectful conduct and pushing a different agenda to the mother party leadership.
“Their behaviour is out of order and we have decided to suspend them. They have shown disrespect. They have even been using vulgar language,” party secretary-general Vincent Kanyetu told Namibian Sun recently.
“We are still on suspension.
They told us that we will be going for a disciplinary hearing, but we are still on suspension,” Haikera said.
“We would like to clarify our position on the alleged suspensions. We want to create clarity amongst the members of the youth league because there has been misunderstanding.”
The trio will be holding a meeting tomorrow to map out a way forward, Haikera added.
The meeting is meant to give other youth league members an understanding of what transpired.
“We would like to clarify our position on the alleged suspensions. We want to create clarity amongst the members of the youth league, because there has been a misunderstanding,” said Haikera.
Namibian Sun reported recently that the trio had been suspended for insubordination.
“Over the past two weeks, they have shown that they have a different agenda to the party,” Kanyetu said.
He also accused them of disrespecting party elders by using obscene language.
Disciplinary proceedings would be instituted against the trio, Kanyetu added.
Ntjamba said at the time it was because he has thrown his hat in the ring for the party presidency and wants to contest the current president Ignatius Shixwameni.
He added there was support within the APP to elect a new party president and Shixwameni only had the support of the Kavango East Region.
“We want a change in leadership. Many regions feel that we need a change of leadership, if the party is going to do well in the 2019 elections,” Ntjamba said.
According to him, the suspensions will not succeed, and if push comes to shove, the suspended trio will take the matter to court.
“They are not going to get that right,” Ntjamba said.
With the APP's elective congress due in November, he is confident he will be elected as its new president.
“I am going to stand for presidency in November. I am going to be president,” Ntjamba said.
