Caprivi crisis for Swapo Tribal tensions see Governor out in cold

The Namibian Newspaper: "SOME Caprivi Regional Councillors have ousted long-serving Caprivi Governor Bernard Sibalatani, clearly acting against a directive of the ruling Swapo party to let all Governors in those regions controlled by Swapo remain in place until the 2010 elections.


The defiance of the Swapo instruction is seen as the first crisis the newly elected party leadership has to deal with, a source within Swapo told The Namibian.
Dissatisfaction with the performance of Governor Sibalatani led to the step, which was allegedly steered by four of the six Councillors, who are members of the Mafwe ethnic group.
Sibalatani is a member of the Masubiya tribe."
