Swapo party members grabbed the top spots at Katima Mulilo Town Council after Kabende Kabende and Charity Matongo-Mabuku got sworn in as mayor and deputy mayor by magistrate Davy Kambinda. The management committee ended up stacked with Swapo people, while opposition councillors from the National Democratic Party and Independent Patriots for Change got stuck as regular members.
Kabende said the council plans to handle basic stuff like land distribution, road fixes, water access, and trash pickup while trying to get everyone working together instead of fighting over politics. He told young residents they are central to plans for creating opportunities, and he asked traditional leaders plus business groups to pitch in since getting things done requires help from the whole community.
