Fight for the Namibian Constitution picks up speed

On Thursday 7 August 2014 public concerns were voiced at a meeting organised by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung in Windhoek and addressed by the Chairperson of the Law Reform and Development Commission, Sakkie Shangala. Shangala turned up late and left again early without having answered the questions that were asked.
Below are two videos, one from NBC, the other one taken by a private person.
It's obvious that the NBC does not bring the full version, but inserts the weak  excuse regarding the staff shortage as being the reason for the short notice given.







For Tuesday 12 August a peaceful demonstration is planned at the Parliament gardens at 13h00. That is the day the debate about the Constitutional Amendment bill will start in Parliament.
The question is if it can stay peaceful when, as was the case on Thursday, police in riot gear turn up.

The video below speaks for all of us Namibians.


In the meantime, our online petition is also picking up speed.
