Former deputy prime minister and mines minister Natangwe Ithete is slated to deliver a keynote at a Swapo gathering in Ongwediva in the Oshana region, according to a party post seen by The Namibian. The event at Leisure Park Extension 11 is expected to feature former urban and rural development minister Erastus Uutoni alongside him.

The appearance comes days after President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah removed Ithete from the Cabinet. The president has not issued a formal explanation, though a video shared on social media shows her telling ministry staff that he breached a presidential moratorium on oil and gas matters and approved the renewal of an exploration petroleum license without authorization. Party figures have backed the president’s discretion to keep her reasons private. Oshana regional coordinator Sam Nangolo said Ithete remains a member of Parliament and a Swapo leader, which allows him to address party members and the public. He added that Ithete retains his party membership and may share his message with the community.
