As the country leads up to its National and Presidential elections in November this year, political parties campaigning to get 'the vote' have left nothing unearthed, blame and derogatory comments about each other has become the order of the day.
 

At a recent Swapo Party rally in the Omungwelume constituency in Northern Namibia, Secretary General of Swapo, Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana in what can only be regarded as promoting xenophobic behaviour amongst the Namibian population, referred to the Editor of the Namibian daily newspaper, Gwen Lister as a 'big snake in Namibia.'
 

Iivula -Itana further warned lister that if she is not careful about what she writes about when it comes to Swapo leaders and other Namibians, she will be taken to task for the wrong doings committed by her white ancestors.
 

This according to reports in two daily newspapers.
 

In recent months political parties have been at each others throats, and violence at rally's has become somewhat tradition with some political parties, mainly the ruling party Swapo and the newly established party RDP not withstanding fighting at their rallies.

Elections in Namibia are to take place from the 27th to the 28th of November 2009.
