Namibia: Tobacco Plantation a Sad Plan

13 March 2015

WE read in The Namibian this week with disgust about how Armas Amukwiyu admitted that he is the well-connected principal agent of the Chinese to secure 10 000 hectares of land to produce tobacco in the Zambezi Region. Indeed, we were warned already by Frantz Fanon that after independence, it will not be a white man, but a fellow black man, who will harm the black man. Fanon was talking about the likes of Amukwiyu. This revelation is not new; it is similar to the 1883 transaction where native Joseph Fredericks donated Angra Peguena land to Franz Adolf Eduard Lüderitz after receiving alcohol.

It is to be expected of Amukwiyu to be an agent of the Chinese in the tobacco deal because by his disposition, Amukwiyu can sell our land even for a hotdog. This deal explains why Amukwiyu always wanted to get rid of vigilant youth. As matters stand, only TB Joshua knows the number of unpatriotic deals he is involved in.
