Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 41285, member: 636"] Swapo president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has pushed back against talk about splits within her party over her cabinet choices. She picked eight people for her administration and some party members complained about being left out. The president said the questions about her picks wrongly suggest party leaders are fighting each other. She asked why people question her choices when past leaders also picked people from different backgrounds. Party membership does not guarantee a government job, she explained. The president said critics who want her government to fail are wasting energy. She promised her team will deliver good services to the people of Namibia. Reports had claimed several Swapo members felt upset after being passed over for positions. Nandi-Ndaitwah rejected the idea that only party officials should receive appointments. Her administration faces early criticism but she remains confident about success. [/QUOTE]
