Decolonising the Namibian Constitution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If “One Namibia, One Nation” means anything, then the Government of the Republic of Namibia should function like a person with two hands. The right hand does not fight the left hand. As our Oshiwambo elders say: "omunue gume ihagu tompola ona" — one finger cannot do without the other fingers.
