From the desk of Job Amupanda

Dear Professor Peter Katjavivi
Speaker of the National Assembly
1. As you are aware, on the 18th March 2019, we held a #MarchForLand during which we submitted, to you and the National Assembly, a complete Land Indigenization Bill that sought to regulate the ownership of land by foreign nationals as promised by the Constitution - a responsibility that the capitalist National Assembly has reneged over the past 30 years of flag independence.
2. When you received the bill at Parliament Garden on that day, you stated, in our own words, that the bill "is in good hands" and that we will hear from you soonest. Against the advice of fellow activists who advised that I must not take anything you say seriously for all ruling party elites are characterized by Machavelianism, I decided to give you a benefit of doubt reasoning that while you form part of the Swapo elite, you remain a scholar and someone with an understanding of the history of our people - particularly the land dispossession of our people. I was evidently mistaken; you are just another politician.
3. There are only a few weeks left before the work of the current parliament comes to an end. You have not done anything to our bill, which is ostensibly still imprisoned in the cupboards of your office. I personally spoke to several members of the so-called parliamentary committee who both confirmed that they never dealt with or are they going to deal with our land bill. In any case, the time will not permit. Why did you betray us like that?
4. I am writing this note, for posterity, to inform you that we will get our land. That bill will be tabled in the National Assembly. You will not stop this bill from seeing the floor of the National Assembly. Eeeeeeemxu, we will make sure. But take note Professor Katjavivi; The forget-not pens of history will record you as a political elite who stood against our people securing their land through the parliamentary platform.
I Remain,
Job Shipululo Amupanda, Etondo lyaNehale
