Windhoek — The ruling party has directed its politburo to finalise the best possible methodology to achieve the zebra style representation on the party list before the party's Electoral College later this year.
Even though the date for the politburo meeting has not yet been communicated, Swapo Party Secretary General Nangolo Mbumba is confident that when implemented, the 50-50 gender balance policy adopted by the party for all its organs, would be sustainable and that there are enough capable women to fill top positions in the party. "I definitely believe that 50/50 is sustainable, because we have many able women who can lead. By the way, women are the majority of the population in this country, so we will not run out of women," Mbumba said while responding to a question from New Era during a press conference on Sunday.
