NEFF Deputy President, Kalimbo Iipumbu, reflects on the Otjinene developments
DESERT FM July 22, 2025
Tribal tensions have erupted in the village of Otjinene in the Omaheke Region, following the death of a local Omuherero man in a violent altercation involving five Aawambo individuals. The suspects are in custody, but tensions boiled over this morning with reports of retaliatory attacks, business stalls belonging to non-Ovaherero vendors were allegedly torched, and some communities have been told to vacate the area.
In response, the Namibia Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) issued a strong statement condemning the violence and tribalism, calling for national unity and renewed focus on fighting economic injustice.
Joining is Kalimbo Iipumbu, NEFF Deputy President, to reflect on the developments.
