The general perception amongst the Namibian population is that no change can be seen since the countries independence. Many even reckon it has become worse since 1990. Colonial governance is perpetuated under SWAPO rule. The system of Apartheid has not really been done away with. It is continued under the new name of Affirmative Action and has thus become part of the Constitution(Article 23). It is used to solely serve members of the ruling party.
These are grave complaints which have to be addressed if a renewed fight for freedom is to be averted. The question is: does Government have any intention of addressing these issues or is a rebellion part of the plan of the NWO (New World Order)?
I believe one problem lies in the continued use of Government Acts dating back as far as 1944 and 1970, which are only amended in minor points like inserting new names(correctional for prison) or adding she where only he was originally used. This is ridiculous! All those Acts originated from the Colonial Rule and are thus to be regarded with utmost suspicion unless the status quo of Colonial Rule is to be upheld, which seems to be the case.
Article 25 (1)(b) of the Namibian Constitution upholds those "laws" until amended, repealed or declared unconstitutional by a competent court. Yet after nearly 25 years, most of those Acts still haven't been repealed or declared unconstitutional. Is that not a clear signal that Colonial rule is to be continued? Is that not an indication of the loyalties of our courts?
In August 2008 the LAC stated:"The LAC believes the current Criminal Procedure Act is in conflict with the Constitution." Unfortunately they did not yet publish an update to that case. Yet to date that Act basically still stands as it was in 1977, with just the height of fines increased by an amendment in 2010.
Is that not a clear signal that Colonial rule is to be continued?
And now I ask you, where is the justice in fining a pensioner with a N$650 per month pension N$500 for not wearing a seat belt and pretending that to be a big favor? It's giving with one hand and grabbing back with the other.
Do you still think we're independent and free?
