RED LINE CHALLENGE Part 1 - 24 January 2025

[@kuvezakaura9770]

Thanks Dr Amupanda for calling a spade a spade. I salute you for standing up for the Nation.

[@Blessings2344]

Thank you Dr Amupanda, for standing up for the Majority of Namibian people, aluta continue, God is in charge.

[@hilmanakawa4430]

Viva Dr Amupanda, I am proud of you. Ino ye etha..🎉

[@tangenishifeulwa3704]

I like the courage in Advocate Ndind , he syand firmly on his ground regardless of the harsh treatment by Judge Uuitele😊

[@constanciomwandingi9601]

I think they are punishing Amupanda for making him stand for three days in court. They want him to give up, But the Red Line mast fall! Go on Amupanda!

[@retatuhetjikotoke6798]

People are able to travel freely from the south to the north without restrictions; however, we face limitations when it comes to crossing with meat. Recently, there was an outbreak of lumpy skin disease in this region as well, indicating that no area can be considered entirely free from such threats. The central issue remains that apartheid-like divisions persist in Namibia, especially if the removal of the red line is delayed or obstructed.

[@Blessings2344]

How come , after independence we still divided, we need to come with our meat from north, Dr , you have taken a good step,

[@NdindjileIhekeni]

Prof Amupanda, you are a champ bro

[@Amakali1]

"You can not postpone the enjoyment of rights". Dr. Amupanda

[@mariamaykandenge9652]

Why can we not just put the fence around Namibia instead and protect all animals from infections?

[@hermannahemi2803]

They don't want to fence, coz most of their livestock go to Angola for grazing.

[@retatuhetjikotoke6798]

Exactly the point ☝️

[@gabrieledward2988]

Hopefully you haven't been at the border side of Angola and Namibia.it could be needless to suggest this.

[@ntjambatheobald9965]

How are we going to devide kavango River with Angola?

[@AmukwaIipinge]

Just imagine hundreds millions spending for nothing it was better to spend that million to shift the red line to Angola border so that the oshivelo check point moved to Angola Namibia border, what's so difficult instead just waste millions for DVDs while NCA farmers benefit nothing , just imagine oshakati eloolo abattoir already collapsed ten years now no water no electricity, many employees sent in the street and now keeping telling lies,red line must fall well done Mr Amupanda we stand with you forever!!!

[@peterrichard9769]

I salute you Dr Amupanda, these days, colonial period is over,, equal opportunities to every Namibian and should enjoy such rights,

[@hennimaganoashipala40]

35years later they are putting up measures to better the lives of the people at the northern part of Namibia, Just wow. REMOVE THE LINE.

[@EmiliaMuna]

I can imagine the parliament with this brave and wisdom calibers ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@retatuhetjikotoke6798]

Namibia must establish its own legal framework, distinct from the laws instituted during the apartheid era. It is crucial to create a clear distinction between an independent nation and one that was previously subjected to apartheid, particularly given the divisions created by the border. A unified Namibia requires one president and one nation, with a legal system that reflects the values and aspirations of its people in the post-apartheid era.

[@EmiliaMuna]

Brave warriors of the land of the brave. Unshaken by colonial laws. Proud of u Dr as the good cause will benefit all namibians .🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@abelmathe3737]

Am waiting for the argument on my birthday 🎉🎉😂😂

[@julianangombe9828]

We did not liberate this country for few elites and riches, but the whole nation.

[@sirundaagustu4181]

Please the judge is no being fair, it is for Amupanda to say even yourself you will be poor but their so called lawyer is not wrong when he says that everyone in namibia will be poor, are we part of the case?

[@JohannesHappyPanduleniImbili]

How can you ask someone to confirm what's going to be done and not done as if he is the one going to do it, am I the only one not getting it???

[@ngaa_maetja]

It's because Job is the main plaintiff and he wants to give him his fair chance to reply to those experts that will come testify after him, since he won't be able to come back after he steps down. It's Law my guy 😂😂😂

[@nshetunyenga]

etondo lyanehale you are the man of this soil

[@TuwilikaNanhapo]

Well done shipululo amupanda I salute you my brother

[@gebhardsakaria5357]

We set to do thinks because they are difficult, not because they are easy. Well done prof..

[@evashitaatala9953]

It’s not only people in the north. We need to consume our own products wherever we are.

[@julianangombe9828]

Namibia is independent forever, the red line is a man made and can be removed. The are ways to do it without making people of Namibia worst of nor poor but in fact improving the situation of all Namibian citizens. The issue of all Namibians to be poor has no relevance whatsoever without proper mechanisms in place.

[@anthonygurirab8268]

The lawyer said EVERYONE WILL BE POOR IN NAMIBIA. As far as that version, does it not include Mr. Amupanda and me as a person in Namibia? And is it not a personal statement made by the lawyer, which the judge didn't ALSO aired the same he did against Mr. Amupanda

[@gwetetalyamuhongi3703]

Ueitele has to behave the way he is towards Amupanda. You know he is from Omaheke and all the Hereros their farms are there inside the fence. For decades they had benefited from the EU and other international beef quota and other meat products. Therefore the idea to remove that fence, to allow the northern farmers also to benefit from the market, they will not support it!! I personally don’t feel Ueitele to be the right judge to preside on this matter in just and fairness.

[@pendahteo2657]

Dr Shipululo i salute you 🫡

[@her679]

The people staying in the northern part of Namibia are they eating beef? If the animals are sick, why are they keeping people there?

[@Shimba_360]

It doesn't make any sense for those fighting for the redline fence to remain which was introduced by colonial authorities without consideration and recognition of local inhabitants but rather protect white monopoly interests. Viva Amupanda 💪

[@mattyamweelo6027]

Any changes to the red line policy must be accompanied by a well-defined plan that safeguards market confidence, and prevents potential business losses. Rather than hastily lifting this policy, the focus should be on developing comprehensive strategies that enable the northern market to export and sell meat effectively without jeopardizing existing trade relationships.

[@retatuhetjikotoke6798]

They are testifying that they plan to establish a market for exporting meat from the North to various countries. However, one must question the timeline for such developments. Will these plans ever come to fruition, or will they remain unfulfilled, leaving us to grapple with poverty and stagnation in the meantime?

[@EmiliaShikomba]

Lol the export of meat to Europe doesn't add value on our lives

[@EmiliaShikomba]

The economy have been in stagnant cycle for a long time due to service rendering systems not because of meat

[@georgelukonga4822]

We are behind you as the whole nation.

[@riruakomeheke1939]

I am not behind him at all. It is a mad case!!

[@riccosnr5343]

Salute 🙌

[@emilyndafenongo7173]

Ano why would one testify about something that is not yet done? How sure are they that that is going to be done?

[@theonlyexclusivechannel]

I agree that the redline needs to be removed, but fact still stands that northern farmers are inconsistent when it comes to disease control like vaccinating consistently every year. It may be due to fact that they are mostly subsistence farmers and lack of funds but this might change once the line is removed and they start monetising their farms. Continue Fighting Crd Amupanda💪🏾

[@efraimhamukonda8295]

The case of the State is weak. The government needs to understand that fundamental human rights cannot be trampled on. All farmers must be treated the same, if a disease erupts, all farmers must just be at the same exposure of the disease.

[@gwetetalyamuhongi3703]

If heathcote is telling us that he is just a representative of Swapo therefore he should not be included, now what is he is doing there interrogating Amupanda, if I may ask.

[@immanuelamwaalwa]

Please keep politics out of this, this is a national issue. I don’t think making this about politics will not help Dr. Amupanda very much in what he’s trying to achieve for all Namibians here.

[@PL_Official]

My impression is that, the law in this case is used to perpuate corrupt activities of the government.

[@Toti-k2v]

Why is are they talking of the future we want things which are happening now

[@monikanaholo1195]

So now the government is brought to Court and all of a sudden they have measures to be put in place? After 35 years after independence? So they have an arrogance of using statements like they have a plan to better the people in the north of the redline? Are we second class that all we deserve is to made better off over time? What an arrogant and insulting to the people of Namibia. Prof Amupanda, we applaud you for this bravery. We support you and we are proud to have someone who have common sense. What infuriates is that they put the European and Westerns above our interest. European or the West does not give a flying cat what Africa think when they make their decisions, yet these suckers are not even ashamed to state that the reason the redline is there is because our meat won't be exported into those markets. Now we understand that this cordon Fencing was originally put in place to keep the black people out, now the colonial regime did that people to them us black people were not human like that and I can except that because well, we didn’t expect anything good to come from them. What I cannot except, is people using that very same tool that was elected to subject our people to peverty and humiliation in the independent Namibia. By uphold that fence, they are simply continuing the colonialism of the people in the northern borders. How can we accept that as a people? How can anyone trying to justify that? Yes removing it will have consequences like any other decision in life. But it's disrespectful to the people of Namibia to tell them that we need not to remove something that we all know it's origin and how it's using to benefit the few at the expense of the masses.

[@her679]

Thank you, Dr.Amupanda. Namibia must be 100% free. How many whites are having farms In the northern part of Namibia? =0

[@CliveClive-t4x]

This is not even a debatable issue. The redline should be demolished

[@mundiamartinmundia8399]

Should Namibia adjust its policies to prioritize its citizens' needs over global conformity?

[@joelshikonekeni7030]

Of course citizen needs comes first

[@EmiliaShikomba]

Which country you know has it

[@gwetetalyamuhongi3703]

Well done Amupanda not to allow any type of intimidation and racist arrogance to push you around!!

[@teresiasakaria9461]

The removal of redline has personal benefits and mostly benefits infant business and black markets and it doesn’t benefit the government, and the government is what keeps us going economically. Positive impacts on people of Namibia - improves the standard of living - people get to travel freely with anything they want -people tend to start businesses in the south Negative impacts on the economy of Namibia - black market - high inflation - high interest rates - high unemployment - high taxes -increase in government spending -decrease in exports - low GDP - health issues

[@kuvezakaura9770]

The judge is rude

[@murikireinhold]

Nooo he is not! That is him telling both parties to stick strickly to question and answers within the context

[@garethkabuku9889]

The judge is not neutral.

[@hollaholla5172]

The judge has already choose his side

[@lymaanda]

The words improve and better off are worrisome. The lives of the people should depend on their self-determination. Not limited to level of improvement desired by the person implementing the effect.

[@massoncc9265]

This red line soon will also restrict guys from the south not to date ladies from the north 😂

[@Kima-tt8rq]

That's Judge SHAFI, don't face him if you are not prepare

[@lineahaiduwa1741]

This Ntinda guy agh noo muhn...does he even know whats hes doing.....

[@ndaikilerainhold4959]

If they are doing best to keep animals health in the northern part, why is it an issue carrying meat to southern side? They ain’t confident in their vaccines?

[@cryptoincomeopportunities1859]

Ag, this thing is useless. Where was the Redline before whites invaded Namibia? Drop that thing. Otherwise we should just go to polls, to see if the majority would like to have it or not, simple.

[@salomnghishidimbwa4180]

The main problem here is Ueitele. Namibia child, save that name!

[@Hoololeni]

The problem is the Judge. Mr Ntinda is doing the best he can but the Judge is biased.

[@pasqual9193]

If the red Line could effectively prevent movement of livestock from the north of the redline, since 1896, then the govt can effectively prevent the movement of livestock from angola into Namibia. Where did these lawyers get their training from to provide such poor argument.

[@julianangombe9828]

Being rude does not make the court better sessions.

[@julianangombe9828]

Is it about what you want Dr Amupanda to say.

[@julianangombe9828]

But you invited Dr Amupanda to provide his options or argument while at the same time your seem to contradict yourself😅

[@leeviiikelah518]

The red line must fall , or one can make it clear for Namibian to be divided into two countries democratic if this matter can not be resolved

[@mattyamweelo6027]

Any changes to the red line policy must be accompanied by a well-defined plan that safeguards market confidence, and prevents potential business losses. Rather than hastily lifting this policy, the focus should be on developing comprehensive strategies that enable the northern market to export and sell meat effectively without jeopardizing existing trade relationships.

[@mepeunemuzuma6269]

Tinda is not well organized for this case I wanted to follow this case but I give up

[@TresiaH857]

The judge is biased and, Mr. Ntinda isn’t ready,and he’s messing up a lot. 😮😮yoooh

[@MARTIN-c9q8i]

Keep up my guy

[@julianangombe9828]

Being biased doesn’t make the court right.

[@Floyd_104]

The Hereros as beneficiaries are against our case

[@LSimon-v5x]

Mara nee, to talk the truth nee, most of the cattle in the nothern part are not in good health.it will cause havoc if red line is removed. South and herero's cattles are good.

[@sonianangolo5465]

Sense

[@albertjohan6337]

So obvious!

[@wakakatuamba2360]

Ano this Ntinda guy,is he really a lawyer or it's this things of us pushing one another into positions?? I don't know, but he will be the reason Dr Amupanda will lose this case....my thoughts though 🤔

[@ntindajih7172]

Why are you saying that? Mr Ntinda is an Advocate and he knows his work, he’s naturally slow in talking but he knows his job. Or maybe you are better than him, go and represent Amupanda so we see how you progress with the case.

[@VeronikaGanuses-er4zi]

Hapo did the say they will remove the red line during their campaign. And now

[@VilhoSharead]

What time is the next session?

[@shadenizer2021]

The red line must be removed from its current position and moved to surround Namibia so that meat from the north is not devalued and meat from the central south is valued. Namibia must stand up to this.

[@Blessings2344]

Remove the RED-LINE PLEASE, enough is enough. we have enough veterinaries in Namibia. cattle's in the northern are they also do receive vaccination, why discriminating pp from northern area.

[@mepeunemuzuma6269]

Where did Dr amupanda get Mr Tinda seriously

[@MARTIN-c9q8i]

So now they are talking about infrastructure at the northern region, while we are talking about the removal of RED line

[@raphaelmalakia9271]

They have the audacity to higher the lawyers from other countries to represent their regime and corrupt politicians with it's government. Viva to Prof Amupanda, Red line mist fall, we're dying of hunger already and poor because of the red line .

[@DamWest-k5x]

Mr ntinda should adjust big time yoh. He be messing up

[@julianangombe9828]

At least that was a good human joke about a drink

[@evashitaatala9953]

lol this day is more interesting. Clearly hilarious to a degree. The redline will go. Are there other instruments to mitigate FMD etc? Evidence based

[@AmukwaIipinge]

Oshakati eloolo abattoir was renovated with millions just wasted now since then ten years now abattoir is collapsed no water no electricity just a white elephant,i failed to understand for someone standing in court to lie to a normal person who can see, farmers here on NCA no where to sell their cattle,red line must fall.

[@LydiaIihuhua]

Divide Law and Political Science 😅

[@victoriashipwata8704]

This movement of fresh meat is only applicable to those coming from the northern part of Namibia?

[@salomokapote6493]

Where is judge coming from? Sure he is not sober!

[@JohannesHappyPanduleniImbili]

You should know the name of your client diseases😂😂😂 salute bro🎉

[@LydiaIihuhua]

AR members please 😅

[@ndinaiindongo9482]

Something is not right with this judge

[@julianangombe9828]

So nothing has been done🤣🤣🤣

[@paulnbarros1400]

Someone tell this judge that context is important. Allow the good doctor to respond to questions at the best of his ability. Stop with those intimidations, Mr. Judge

[@LSimon-v5x]

If I could,I would tell the Judge to throw him out of court. job does not even know what he is doing. He is just chasing clouds.

[@paulnbarros1400]

Clearly, you come into a different background. As an African and black in particular that comes from the other side of Redline, he clearly understands what he's doing in that court. I pray that one day, this country doesn't have to go through an unlead revolution to address the past injustices........

[@HAMUTIMAT2]

It's okay for the citizens NCA to consume "infested meat" aa long as they don't bring the meat to consume SVC? Does that make sense in Unitarian state?

[@HelloWorld_88]

" Everyone in Namibia would be poor" 😂😂😂😂

[@tangenishifeulwa3704]

The judge is biase , can jude Prinsolo take over

[@JerobeamHaukuti]

Those people who are educated through the colonial education systems will not understand the implications of that red line to the current black citizens of Namibia. At least some amount (in specified KGs) of red meat should be allowed to go through the red line from the north.

[@eerikekamberipa4175]

We don't want meat from the North... Amupanda please go do other things

[@salomemiinapetrus5250]

All these files contains what ano?

[@anthonygurirab8268]

30 years and the Namibian still fights their own not to prosper

[@luckymungunda9158]

Redline will fall.

[@katrinambandi3458]

What entails a judge?🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

[@hallaback2010]

Firm. Guiding. Fair.

[@BestofNamibia-kc6jj]

But who are those people around the government council and what representation is that?

[@leopoldinemashendju6664]

We need a new lawyer.

[@Blessings2344]

FEAR NOT, SHIPULULO,

[@anthonygurirab8268]

The irony about this is. The Minister who will testify is ONLY ON until end of March 2025, as the next Minister is already in line. Will the next incoming agriculture minister come back to tell us that they changed the previous policy made by the ex minister and government?

[@julianangombe9828]

There is no problem Namibia being a member of WTO and other international treaties. All what we want is to put our house in order because the opportunities are endless. No sovereignty country can rely on other countries or nations to decide on its livelihood and its people.

[@mainotuna2138]

Ano what kadila omoomo was doing there nana?
