The Landless Peoples’ Movement (LPM) leadership has avoided explaining the reasons behind the removal of Keetmanshoop mayor Melody Swartbooi. The situation has caused division among party members in the town. Swartbooi, elected as a councillor in the 2025 local elections, was removed from her position and stopped from representing LPM on the council. She claims a chaotic meeting led to LPM leader Bernadus Swartbooi being taken out by police. Attempts to resolve the issue on Monday failed. Swartbooi said she was not allowed to bring certain individuals to a meeting, despite having a large group of supporters. She and her delegation waited for a press release that never arrived as scheduled. The event was later livestreamed from a member's house instead. The situation has raised concerns about internal party dynamics.
The incident highlights growing internal conflicts within the LPM, affecting its credibility and unity.
