Accept ye projects kingdom first and Germany will offer reparations later?

ObserverUncategorisedYours Truly Ideologically

Yours Truly Ideologically cannot but be perplexed that those from the affected communities who must be in the better know and how, are the ones today in the forefront of delivering their communities on the altar of the second genocide. Because if the agreement between the Namibian government, and its German counterpart, needs to be seen as and/or called anything, then it is no more better than a second genocide against the very communities of the Ovaherero, Ovambanderu and Nama, that the agreement purported to reconcile and reconstruct. With the midwives of the purported reconciliation and reconstruction, sadly, none other…

Ideologically hollow policies with cosmetic impact telltales of radical transformation

ObserverUncategorisedKae Matundu-Tjiparuro, Yours Truly Ideologically

Kae Matundu-Tjiparuro Yours Truly Ideologically has been postulating about the essence of the national resistance, national liberation, from an ideological perspective. In a nutshell, about the essence of the Namibian Revolution, the ultimate, which must have been the unshackling of the capitalist chains. Especially unchaining workers from the colonial yoke. So that the toil of their labour is not a mere commodity but that they own the fruits of their labour.

New political formations, how ideological are they?

Despite some of the political parties initially gimmicking and posturing socialist positions, it transpired that in their manifestos for the 1989 elections, there was little difference in their economic policies, or their economic blue prints for the radical transformation of the country’s economy. Thirty…

It does not end there but further enumerates this party’s revolutionary intents post-colonial.

Masses must wait for a cake that never seems to grow

ObserverUncategorisedYours Truly Ideologically

Yours Truly Ideologically: Kae Matundu-Tjiparuro Yours Truly Ideologically strongly believes that because of the nature of the independence the country gained, the flag independence, the content thereof, which socio-economically, and politico-culturally has since not seen any fundamental transformation. Therefore, Namibia cannot as yet speak, even the least of the economic empowerment of the masses, while their economic empowerment must have been the essence of the liberation and emancipation struggle.Contrary to what many would like us believe, especially the political elite and aspiring bourgeoisie. Thus, it has been strange to Yours Truly Ideologically, how those politically running the country, can be…
