Swapo secretary general Sophia Shaningwa has dismissed speculation that she intends to unseat party president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. If it were a gun, it would be a Katyusha with 40 barrels firing for mee Netumbo to become president. Shaningwa has previously dismissed reports of a rift between herself and Nandi-Ndaitwah. Swapo Omusati regional coordinator Sacky Kayone has commended Shaningwa for speaking out against allegations of her ambitions to replace Nandi-Ndaitwah ahead of the upcoming congress. Kwala says it would make little sense for Shaningwa to challenge Nandi-Ndaitwah after campaigning for her and helping secure her endorsement as Swapo president.
