Windhoek — Linyati Constituency Councillor in the Zambezi Region, Cletius Sipapela, has warned that Namibia is sitting on a time bomb when it comes to the land issue and that Namibian people might be forced to take the Zimbabwean route if steps are not taken for land to be equally shared. "We talk to people with no hearts," he said, adding: "Despite the policy of national reconciliation the white farmers are reluctant to share land with black Namibians."
Sipalela was contributing to the National Council debate yesterday on the Agricultural (Commercial) Land Reform Amendment Bill, in which he also cautioned that time is not very far for people to consider other alternatives if those with land do not want to share it.
