“In Namibia, gender equality is not mere lip service. We have benefitted from the SWAPO Party’s internal reform of its party list system, to include, 50/50 representation of women.”
“Due to SWAPO’s victory at the electoral polls, female representation in Parliament has increased from 24% to 47%...I have also appointed a young female Prime Minister...as well as a female Deputy Prime Minister...I have appointed female ministers at the helm of our Basic and Higher Education Ministries as well as other strategic ministries.”
