Leader of the Namibian Economic Freedom Fighters, has argued that there is a need to reevaluate the current democratic government system in Namibia and integrate traditional features that align with the country’s values and aspirations. Epafras Mukwiilongo saiys there is no such thing as Namibian democracy, stressing that the country’s founding fathers adopted a system which they modified to suit the historical, cultural and traditional political setup. Mukwiilongo argued that although Namibia’s democratic system has been relatively stable, there is a need to remain vigilant and continuously assess and reassess the strength of the borrowed system. He proposed adopting elements that strengthen the country’s institutions according to its own standards, rather than those borrowed from ‘the West’.
