How accountable are community organisations? Yours Truly Ideologically is posing this question disturbed greatly by news and complaints that have been filtering through for some time now from the peripheries concerning the lack of accountability among our community institutions.
Concerned because community organisations, ideally, are and should be the first among the firsts to usher in and spearhead egalitarianism as well as all the way guard, guide and protect such where and whenever it is realised among our communities. However, nascent such realisation may be.
In the belief and orientation of “to each according to his/her needs and from each according to his/her ability.” Best placed to usher in socio-economic transformation where it is most needed, which is the local level.
Socialism cannot be ushered in and fostered among the broader Namibian society, other than starting from the base, which are our rural economic backyards, a situation imposed on them by capitalism. Which remains, to the detriment of the masses, including our rural peasants, the harsh and undesirable status quo.
