War or Peace? Authoritarian Polarisation Versus Political Pluralism
By: HENNING MELBER
SINCE the formation of the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP) the political culture in Namibia has changed dramatically.
...
Instead of seeking a common understanding with the competing internal political forces, the alliance between the erstwhile liberation movements in Southern Africa seems to be the unifying identity. It allows those in power to consider themselves as “the end of history”. Jacob Zuma, president of the South African ANC, visited Namibia on 8 December, to meet with President Hifikepunye Pohamba and the former President Sam Nujoma. A Joint Communiqué released after the visit stated: “It was noted that there is a recurring reactionary debate around the need to reduce the dominance of former liberation movements on the African continent. In this regard the emergence of counter revolutionary forces to reverse the social, political and economical gains that have been made under the leadership of our liberation movements was discussed.”

In his ‘Letter from the President’, published by the weekly electronic circular ‘ANC Today’, Jacob Zuma after his return summarised and repeated part of the deliberations in the following way: “Ruling parties often go through certain challenges after the first decade, when the interests of different strands within the broad liberation movement begin to diverge. People begin to explore other avenues, especially when they feel they are losing control and influence within the movement. The interests of people outside the movement, locally or internationally would also come into play. (…) Political analysts and all who claim to know Africans better than they know themselves tell us that it is good for Africa and democracy if the majority of former liberation movements was reduced. How do we as former liberation movements ensure that we do not steer away from our mandate of serving the poor and all our people, in the current climate of counter-revolution?”

By: BRIGITTE WEIDLICH
THE overall human rights and human security situation in Namibia has deteriorated remarkably over the past year, with all seven domains of human security gravely threatened, the National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) said in its latest report yesterday.
The seven domains are economic, food, health, environmental, personal and political as well as community security. 
“While the cultural, economic, environmental and social rights security situation has continued to worsen constantly, the civil and political rights security situation has severely deteriorated and has assumed very dangerous proportions,” NSHR Executive Director Phil ya Nangoloh told media during a report preview.
