Sharon Roodt on Walvis Bay Service Delivery Dispute Turning Political

[PODCAST]

This past weekend, the Joint Walvis Bay Residents Association met with SWAPO Secretary General Sophia Shaningwa and the Deputy Minister of Urban and Rural Development to receive a petition and witness the conditions first-hand.
However, the meeting has since stirred controversy. The Independent Patriots for Change, which runs the municipality, has accused Shaningwa of politicising the gathering after she posted on social media that SWAPO is ready to “restore Walvis Bay to its former glory” ahead of the 2025 elections.

Sharon Roodt speaks to Desert FM as she says the event was never intended to be political.
