Chief of Otjika Tjamuaha Royal House warns that he will not allow interference of politics in traditional matters

OTJINENE: Chief of the Otjika Tjamuaha Royal House and leader of the Maharero Traditional Authority, Tjinani Maharero, has issued a stern warning to his subjects that he will not allow the interference of politics in traditional matters.

In an attempt to mend severed relationships between members of the various political parties active at Otjinene, Maharero on Thursday told Nampa that he is there for all descendants of the Maharero clan and those over whom he has jurisdiction.

The youthful leader, who was installed two weeks after the death of his father Chief Alfons Kaihepovazandu Maharero earlier this year as his successor, said he has observed that political divisions have caused disunity amongst community members, adding that such scenarios needed to be reversed.

He said that he is not here to unite parties, but to serve the interests of the Maharero Royal House and the community of Otjinene, adding that they are all under one banner of traditional matters when they come together and not members of different parties.

Otjinene, currently under the leadership of the National Unity Democratic Organisation (Nudo), has over the years proven to be the party’s major stronghold, especially in Regional and Local Authority elections.

But the penetration of other parties in the constituency, most notably the ruling Swapo-Party, has threatened to take away much needed votes from Nudo, and as such causing divisions amongst the different party members.

2 (OSHAKATI) – Old Mutual Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Operations, Sakaria Nghikembua said the Old Mutual/Nedbank Education Trust targets to provide at least 100 bursaries to Namibians over a period of 10 years.

Nghikembua said this during the Old Mutual Namibia Media Engagement Dinner held at a popular hotel here on Thursday evening.

According to Nghikembua, the trust has thus far awarded a total of 40 bursaries since it commenced operations in 2009.

He stated that medicine, accounting, engineering, computer science, business science, law, actuarial science, aquatic science, and geology are the fields of studies covered by the trust.

Nghikembua pointed out that the current focus areas of the foundation are education, community development and skills and capacity building.
