It is not enough for Swapo and the government to pretend to be champions of reparations!

Does the Swapo Party of Namibia and the Namibian government truly, honestly, and forthrightly believe in the genocide of the Ovaherero and Nama as they have been pretending and acting, and as is generally erroneously and ignorantly assumed and believed?

Let alone being convinced about the historicity of this genocide, an integral and intrinsic part of this country’s colonial history as much as it is. Perhaps all the more reason for the party and government believing in this genocide, more incidentally and accidentally and by default.

As a descendant of this genocide, I cannot but pose this relevant question, which I am sure is a question each and every descendant is asking and has been asking.

Because there is and has been nothing for the Swapo Party and its government to show, besides its consistent, persistent, and terminal political rhetoric on this genocide.
