Vaalgras leadership vengeance making people suffer

Native Observer writes: We, the entire traditional community of Vaalgras are confident with the administration of President Hage Geingob. We know him as a talented, skilled, and seasoned diplomat, politician, and negotiator. He does not condone injustice, discrepancies and inequality to mention a few of his principles. I am confident that President Geingob is well aware of the maladministration and bad governance by the deposed traditional authority in Vaalgras. The problem is that politics and Swapo allegiance is being advanced and promoted, unfortunately at the expense of the rural residents who are living in squalor. We have so many good laws being enacted by our Parliament, but to implement them remains a daunting task, which sometimes ends up portraying leaders as failures. The deposed traditional authority has brought no tangible socio-economic development for Vaalgras for the past 25 since the country became independent. What a shame. The deposed leadership in question lost the first round of a High Court challenge on May 10, 2012 and there is no coherent reason for this case to go back to court again, if politics could be taken out of traditional affairs. I am convinced that Section 18 of the Namibian Constitution is being violated with this matter, because there is no administrative justice. Why should impoverished rural poor, who have been neglected for so many years be excluded from the main stream economy. Cde Geingob, it is time for you to intervene for social justice. Enough is enough. Many of us who are staunch supporters of the ruling party are perishing, whilst awaiting economic emancipation and freedom at Vaalgras, if not freedom from the yokes of the internal oppressors. Mr President, it will just take you less than eight hours to gather first-hand information relating to the real situation on the ground at Vaalgras, and save the Government from being embarrassed and put into disrepute for the economic prosperity of a small coterie. Either the former or current minister of Urban and Rural Development has one simple task to perform, or that is to put his signature on our submission to dismiss the deposed leadership and to appoint the new leadership elected democratically. Mr President, we cannot afford to allow this type hegemonic autocracy which will have negative repercussions on your performance in general. Since independence, the plight of the ex-combatants, war veterans, children of the refugees and children of the ex-combatants, have been heard. Is the legitimate and genuine plight of the Vaalgras community different? I cannot end my appeal without making reference to the recent plight of the Affirmative Repositioning, which had the potential to cause havoc and instability in this peace-loving country of democrats. Should we also utter threats and give ultimatums to the Government in order to be heard, but this would be contrary to our respect for the rule of law as law-abiding people. Do we have to go to such an extremes?
