Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 36240, member: 636"] Activist Gerub Gaseb fights with Mayor Beatrix Kotungondo about sending council members to a festival. Gaseb wants all officials to stay in town after three girls were killed. The mayor says she approved only two people to attend the Lüderitz crayfish event. Gaseb claims four council members received permission. Kotungondo herself decided not to go but allowed Deputy Mayor Akser Aupindi and another council member to attend. Gaseb helped organize a child safety march where people gave a petition to a government official. He promised to block any trips during this sad time. He asked if they would travel if a local event happened today. Former mayor Natasha Brinkmann said she had already attended memorials for the murdered children. She explained she was heading to Lüderitz because officials had assigned her to represent the town. The town remains divided about whether leaders should leave during a community crisis. [/QUOTE]
