Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 78553, member: 636"] Swapo councillor Erkki Kandajaba is the new chairperson for the Onandjaba Village Council. His appointment follows the resignation of the previous chair, Jesaya Hanghuwo, who stepped down due to a party directive. Hanghuwo had originally been elected by local Swapo members, defying an earlier order from the party's politburo, which had nominated Kandajaba for the position. Kandajaba was nominated by council member Martha Emvula, with Rachel Ashivudhi providing the second. He was officially sworn in after a vote. In his first speech, the new chairperson urged council members to maintain a peaceful working environment. The change in leadership resolves an internal party dispute over the selection process.
