NAMIBIA' presidential election: 20th November 2004

In Katutura, a sprawling township in this capital city, long queues of people stood
from the early hours in their eagerness to vote.

"Many people came at three o'clock. I came at 3.30am but
there were already people here," said Willem Shimwooshili.

Hundreds of people, many immaculately dressed, waited patiently outside
a community centre on the outskirts of Katutura where newcomers to the city
have built thousands of corrugated iron huts on the rugged hillsides.

"I want the government to encourage the people who are voting
to pick up the country,"said Matthew Makire, who like many residents
is jobless. "We need a clinic here - the clinic is too far. It is too difficult."

Pohamba wins Namibia election

President Sam Nujoma's chosen successor, Hifikepunye Pohamba,
won an overwhelming victory in elections in Namibia, gaining more
than 77 percent of the vote, results from more than half of counted ballots
showed on Friday. Pohamba (69) the current lands minister,
is to become Namibia's second president since independence
from apartheid South Africa in 1990.


My prayer: little people are waiting to meet their leaders face to face
and have a good talk with them! So help us, dear Yeshuah!
