Reparations, futile channel for egoistic masturbation, Capitalist self-enrichment

Kae Matundu-Tjiparuro From the recent briefing to the National Assembly by Prime Minister, Saara Kuugogenlwa-Amadhila, on 16 March on the progress or lack thereof, of the genocide negotiations, it is emerging crystal clear that after all, as many critics may have predicted and suspected, it has been a futile exercise.

Ideologically hollow policies with cosmetic impact telltales of radical transformation

Kae Matundu-Tjiparuro Yours Truly Ideologically has been postulating about the essence of the national resistance, national liberation, from an ideological perspective. In a nutshell, about the essence of the Namibian Revolution, the ultimate, which must have been the unshackling of the capitalist chains. Especially unchaining workers from the colonial yoke.
