UPDATE: The Lethal Shot that announced the End of Democracy in Namibia

On 27 August 2014 Frieda Ndatipo was shot dead when a group of protesters clashed with police officers in front of Swapo head  office in Windhoek. You can read more about that and watch the video HERE
After a public outcry then Prime Minister Dr. Hage Geingob instructed the Ombudsman to carry out an impartial investigation into the incident. The Ombudsman's report was handed to Justice Minister Albert Kawana in December 2014. It was not made public.
It took another 4 months before prosecutor general Martha Imalwa decided NOT to prosecute anyone in this case. 
Now Minister Kawana has requested an inquest to be held, as we are told HERE 

The very fact that a)it took 7 months to come to the decision of b)NO prosecution proves that something is very wrong here. 

Allowing the police to carry and use live ammunition on their own initiative is a violation of Article 6 of the Namibian Constitution, which forbids the death penalty and executions.   Allowing them to open fire at demonstrators once again violates Article 17. 

The decision of the prosecutor general to NOT prosecute anyone in this case is either a sign of gross incompetence or an acknowledgement of the fact that we now live in a police state.

A Lethal Shot Announces the End of Democracy in Namibia

On the very day parliament passed the third Amendment of the Namibian Constitution, police fired on a  demonstrating crowd, killing Frieda Ndatipo, a young mother of three.

As one commenter puts it:"The needless killing of this young woman in front of Swapo HQ is tragic and also highly symbolic of the real state of affairs. It marks the bloody end of an era of hope and the beginning of a new phase of struggle in which Swapo will no longer be the automatically regarded as 'the sole and authentic representative of the Namibian people', but as a dangerous agency prepared to shoot down unarmed women. The death of this protester on 27 August 2014 will mark a turning-point in the political orientation of the youth and in their struggle for equal rights."

Now I am asking: is ALLOWING the use of live ammunition against demonstrators in a country that A) forbids executions(Art.6) and B)expressly allows peaceful political activities(Art.17) not a contradiction in itself? Especially when acknowledging that people can panic in certain situations?

Of course the SWAPO government immediately puts the blame on someone else once again, claiming a third force being involved in this shooting and their supporters of course start parroting Hage Geingob's words.

Seeing that Namibia has no independent institution to investigate this incident, it will just be swept under the carpet like so many other incidents.
