If you don't follow Namibian news regularly, the long and the short of this issue is that the entire teaching workforce has been castigated repeatedly this year by representatives of the governing SWAPO party* over everything from exam results to schools' response to natural disasters, for reasons that—beyond the obvious desire to distract and shift blame—are not exactly clear.

By way of background, last month, Swapo Party Youth League secretary Ephraim Nekongo sayid some of the country's educators had no will to "educate the Namibian child" and described some teachers as “salary collectors”.

The education minister also blamed teachers for the poor exam results:

What is clear, however, that the Namibian Education Act 2001 establishes a supervisory framework which vests responsibility for, and control of, the teaching service in the Education ministry, rather than teachers or teachers' unions.

Meanwhile, the Namibia Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) movement, which is known for its anti-capitalist, anti-LGBT and anti-Chinese rhetoric, has been quick to exploit this rift by siding with teachers and criticising the Minister.

*SWAPO has been the governing party since 1990 and regularly commands approximately two thirds of the votes in the Namibian parliament.

To the Miscodeed

Jane Johnston Schoolcraft

Sweet pink of northern wood and glen, E’er first to greet the eyes of men In early spring,—a tender flower Whilst still the wintry wind hath power. How welcome, in the sunny glade, Or hazel copse, thy pretty head Oft peeping out whilst still the snow, Doth here and there, its presence show Soon leaf and bud quick opening spread Thy modest petals—white with red Like some sweet cherub—love’s kind link, With dress of white, adorned with pink
