LET’S ALL take a deep breath, examine Namibia from a different angle, and refrain from bleating like lost goats. Some loud detractors, mostly those dramatic, south-of-the-redline types, are busy throwing toys out of the cot because president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah chose to skip the regional Genocide Remembrance Day events. She’s been called anything from “authoritarian, insensitive, and uncaring”.

The nation needs to understand our commander-in-chief operates in a completely different stratosphere. She should not be condemned; she must be loudly celebrated. Why?
Because Meme is executing a masterclass in political survival and planning her re-election campaign well ahead of time. Prioritising a sombre memorial over a lively cultural gathering isn’t a snub, it’s brilliant statecraft. To those complaining about negative headlines like “NNN picks booze fest over genocide event”, thumbs down to you too!
