Political analysts say the Landless People’s Movement (LPM) needs stronger grassroots structures after its community meeting in Keetmanshoop was disrupted on Saturday.

Political analyst Ndumba Kamwanyah described the incident as “unfortunate and disappointing”.

Speaking to the Windhoek Observer on Monday, he said political disagreements should be resolved through dialogue and internal democratic processes, not through actions that create division and instability.

“What is even more concerning is that leaders and supporters appear to be spending more time fighting each other than building the party and advancing the interests of the landless people whom the party was created to represent,” Kamwanyah said.

From the outside, he added, “it increasingly looks like a power struggle rather than a focus on the movement’s core mission.”
