Affirmative Repositioning Movement

In 2014 Following reports by The Namibian newspaper that Windhoek Mayor Agnes Kafula allocated a plot to a Big Brother Africa winner, Kambala alongside Nauyoma and Amupanda occupied land in a Windhoek suburb to raise more concerns on the land question in Namibia claiming many Namibians do not have access to affordable housing.[9][10]

gollark: Is 100 kiloeuros "set for life" money, though?
