The agony and the ecstasy

A LUTA CONTINUA WRITES:In the North West of Windhoek the agony and the ecstasy are half a kilometer apart.Katutura Hospital, for the struggling masses, is “agony”. It is run down, neglected and a potential health hazard.A hospital should be hygienic – clean beds and linen, clean toilets with toilet paper, clean showers and basins with soap. The food should be nutritious. There should be no mice and rats. The medical service should aim to cure some, relieve often and comfort always.Some staff, still try their best, in difficult circumstances.North of the agony, is the new luxury “ecstasy” party headquarters, surrounded by a sea of poverty.One billion dollars is being spent to stroke the egos of the new exclusive elite. They have lost the connection with the grass roots. It is narrow based, comrade connected, commission (ten percent) black economic empowerment. In case the power and trust due to abuse goes wrong, there is a helipad on the top floor (remember Ceausescu in Bucharest, Romania).The NAMPOL HQ also has a helipad?Namibia is one nation. Its people are its greatest asset, not diamonds and fish.You can bluff (con) many people for some time, but you cannot con them all the time with propaganda (fake promises).Real democracy is of, for, by and with the people. – A. LincolnThe leaders are accountable, transparent and responsible servants of the voters, based on their election manifestos. However, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely (Fishrot).The party HQ is built with a Chinese loan. It is debt. The party now owes the Chinese more favours, in their twenty first century commercial colonization quest of Africa. You buy (bribe) the chiefs (leaders) and the Indians (voters – sheep) will follow.No blood is shed. Who is better off, the party or the struggling masses? Namibia should not be a split, have (few), have not (most) nation.
