It has now become widely known, even to bystanders that Namibia's land reform programme is a mere charade. I have given this sufficient time since a good lot has been taken into account, both by the governing administration as well as interest groups.

But for now, I only want to bring to, perhaps, the attention of the few who happens to realize that the Natives Reserves that we continue to inhabit and call sweet home, could not have been. That these parcels of useless plots were originally designated with a malicious intent by colonialists for us, the slave population.

As white settlers had forcefully removed us from ancestral homes. With that our land claim had been obliterated. As could be imagined, these areas were chosen for the sake of their inhospitability, for colonialists for all purppose-and-intent never considered a place for us under the sun. The people, the current generations that inhabits these "Reserves" are kept ignorant of their rights through a fine-tuned colonial political propaganda machinery. That has outlived its designer. Namibia is now said to have been liberated from colonialism, if not only nominally. Yes and No.

The majority of the people in the regions where colonialism forceful removals took place, still lack the necessary political will and power. The political propaganda machinery of old, with all in its arsenal, remains intact.

Perpetual ignorance through denial of academic opportunities, denial of human rights through lack of a liberal, public news media, impoverishment through skewed regional economic development schemes, government financial policies that usher in inflations and stagnations, malpractices in business and industrial matters alot foreigners and cronies with lucrative government tenders and contrast at the expense of locals, and so forth.

All ensure our un-enlightened existence. And what the "proportional democratic representational' system does, is to continue where colonialism left off. Even worse, these people are now burdened with regressive taxations, without proper political representation. Atleast, colonial South Africa considered it sufficiently inhumane that these arid and un-arable land parcels be considered of any economic value, whatsoever, leave alone the butally cruel, post-colonial tax burdens.

The democratic majority is solely made-up of a single ethnicity, who had no stake in the condition of "Reserves" dwellers, south of the former colonial "police zones". This is an outstanding evil of democracy that require prompt and decisive rectification.
