SPWC elects members for NEC

The Swapo Party Women's Council (SPWC) recently elected the 13 members who will serve on its National Executive Committee (NEC).

The council's secretary, Eunice Iipinge, announced the names at a media briefing last week.

The 13 members elected to serve are Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, Loide Kasingo, Rosalia Nghidinwa, Kornelia Shilunga, Adelheid Damases, Katrina Liswani, Agnes Pelekelo, Petrina Haingura, Emilia Amupewa, Tonata Shipena, Victoria Kauma and Rebbeka Iitembu.

Iipinge and her deputy, Francina Kahungu are automatically members of the NEC by virtue of their positions.

The NEC on Saturday also elected members of the Council Secretariat, namely Nghidinwa as assistant secretary of finance and project management; Shilunga, assistant secretary for research, information and programmes; Liswani, assistant secretary for foreign affairs; Iitembu, assistant secretary for legal affairs; and Shipena as assistant secretary for organisation and mobilisation.

Iipinge called on the elected members to remain united, as unity was needed for the SPWC to go forward.

“The test of leadership is about results that speaks to the betterment of people's lives,” she said.

The role of the NEC is to manage the day-to-day administration and management of the SPWC, which is also responsible for policy formulation between the Central Committee meetings.

It elects the secretariat of the party's women's council from among its members.
