By Kuvee Kangueehi Windhoek A high-powered Swapo delegation led by Dr Hage Geingob will on Friday morning meet with the Swapo Omaheke Regional Executive Committee to look into a number of issues affecting the region, including the squabbles in the Otjombinde Constituency. Geingob will be accompanied by Bernard Esau, Becky Ndjoze-Ojo, Pohamba Shifeta and Clara Bohitile. The meeting is expected to bring an end to the ongoing squabbles in the Otjombinde Constituency. Geingob yesterday tried to downplay the significance of the meeting and said the delegation would only go as observes as the meeting was called by the Omaheke Regional Executive Committee. The former premier said that, as leaders assigned to the region, they would go and listen to the grievances from both parties and advise them accordingly. He said he was fully aware of the problem in Otjombinde, and was given a copy of a report compiled by a committee led by National Council chairperson, Asser Kapere. “We are not going there to implement the recommendation but to guide the different factions.” The Otjombinde matter has been a thorny issue in the Omaheke Region and has led to the delay in holding the district conference in the constituency. The constituency is the only one that has not elected a new district executive because the structures in the area have collapsed due to party infighting ahead of the Swapo Party Extraordinary Congress in 2004. The infightings also led to the party losing the constituency to Swanu during the 2004 national elections. With the Swapo Party congress expected to take place in August, the party is looking for a solution to the problems in Otjombinde. The district conference will pave the way for the election of a new Omaheke Regional Executive, which will determine the delegates to the congress. The term of office of the current Omaheke Regional Executive comes to an end next month. Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Swapo Party Women’s Council, Petrina Haingura, says women in the Swapo Party are united as ever in the history of the party. She says rumours of division in the party are not true. She warned that the party would challenge such rumours, as they are not factual. She blamed “ill informed elements” in society for the rumours that want to cause division and create the downfall of the women’s council. Addressing a press conference on Monday evening, Haingura warned that the SPWC would deal with those trying to cause division, within the realm of the constitution of both the SPWC and Swapo Party. Haingura also informed the media that the SPWC held its first Central Committee meeting at RÃÆ’Æ‘Æ‘ÃÆ”šÃ‚¶ssing at the end of last month and elected new members of the executive. The new executive members, who automatically include Haingura and her deputy, Linea Shaetonhodi, are Loine Kandume-Geingos, Loide Kasingo, Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana, Rosalia Nghidinwa, Margereth Mensah-Williams, Rosalia Muashekele-Sibiya, Marlene Mungunda, Juliet Kavetuna, Mildred Jantjies, Muentulamba Shingenge-Haipinge, Tonatha Shipena, Doreen Sioka and Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. Strangely, Nandi-Ndaitwah who obtained the highest votes as a Central Committee member at last year’s congress, almost did not make it as an executive member and was tied on votes with Michaela Hubschle in the first round. However, the latter declined to stand against Ndaitwah for the second round which paved the way for Ndaitwah into the Executive. Haingura also revealed that an executive meeting was held on February 6 to elect various women to different portfolios. The executive members were Mildred Jantjies (Assistant Secretary for Research and Documentation), Mwetulamba Shingenge-Haipinge (Assistant Secretary for Finance and Projects), Margareth Mensah-Williams (Assistant Secretary for Foreign Affairs), Rosalia Muashekele-Sibiya (Secretary for Family and Child Welfare), Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana (Assistant Secretary for Legal Affairs) and Marlene Mungunda (assistant Secretary for Organization and Mobilization).
