The fight for social justice | Job Amupanda | TEDxWindhoek
Job orate that he need only think of a day in the future when his daughter asks:
“Where were you and what did you do when Namibia began to degenerate? What did you, Daddy, do when things began to get worse?”

elected with the highest votes to the central committee of the ruling party youth wing,
the SPYL, later becoming its spokesperson.
He was suspended by the top four ruling party
