Swapo celebrates 65 years amid mixed reviews from leaders and past members. Deputy leader Herunga thinks the party has done well despite problems in housing, health care, and education. He told Desert FM that no country finishes development completely. His group plans to tackle challenges head-on following presidential directives about hitting the ground running.

The party spent its first 30 years fighting for Namibia to become free. Herunga claims the nation ranks among the top African countries for progress. He believes they can regain lost voter support through better resource management and budget implementation. When asked if deceased leaders would approve of the current party status, Herunga answered that they certainly would feel proud. Former officials still offer guidance about shortcomings and areas needing improvement.

Political expert Mulongeni credits Swapo with winning political independence but says economic freedom remains elusive. He argues Namibians have political rights but lack economic control. The government failed to move wealth from foreign hands to local citizens. He points out minor success in fishing, where some local factories process catches. Most mining operations remain foreign-controlled, with Namibia holding just ten percent ownership according to his assessment.
