Swapo party activists attempted to lay a siege to RDP members

Original Report

On Saturday October 31 2009 approximately between 15hoo and 15h30, a group of five Swapo Party activists attempted to lay a siege to two (2) of a group of 30 RDP house to house campaigners at the Mix Squatter Camp, some 20 kilometers north fo Windhoek. In an apparent attempt to block the passage of an RDP house-to-house party, Swapo party activists placed an old tire in the road. Even after the highly tolerant RDP campaigners left the impoverished Squatter Camp, the Swapo Party provokers chased after them for about six kilometers up to Okahandja Park Informal Settlement. They were traveling in a Toyota Conquest with the registration number N 35608W. The Swapo party provokers only ran away after RDP activists, traveling in seven vehicles, threatened "to deal " with them.
