DISPENSATIONAL MODERN LEADERSHIP NEEDED I owe the above theme title to Mitiri Festus Muundjua; he text me an electronic mail long distance with much emphasis on the need to have the OvaHerero Traditional Authority dominating a leader with insight to a international outlook to geo-politics. Our most innate need today as Hereros should determine the kind of a leader. Dispensation or as it were circumstances should in principle supersede bloodline. Perhaps an MBA question is most relevant here, are leaders born or made? The objective answer to this rhetoric should tell. The baton of Chieftaincy since the days of muatje uaKatare has always been about what circumstances or dispensation dictated. Samuel had to lead a war because the national question at the time was land occupation. Katjikururume ascertained inclusive nationalism because a special type of colonialism has raised its ugly head. Kapuuo engineered a more international outlook into the UN chamber taking cues from his predecessor. Kuaima on the other hand moved bravely onto the restorative justice on behalf of a borderless Herero nation. Today, we are now confronted with circumstances that warrants a self determined nation in terms of socio-economic development. We are faced by an era where an average Herero young person cannot assume employment in the Namibian labour market without his surname being traced back to his or her ethnic background. Worse, our youth is more at liberty to work as labourers in the Northern Atlantic, e.g. Canada, USA, UK etc. What qualities does my nation need in a leader for these moments other than the ability to confront these circumstances? Kapuuo was business man in his time. Kuaima was a sharp politician for the conditions facing his people. Without necessarily flashing the credentials of Paramount Chief Adv. Rukoro as though Im in a campaigning mode, but wouldnt we be comfortable with leadership that has insight into issues of globalization, a leader who is survey in matters of the law, and of course, who has ideological content that talks to the social dialectics? Just asking... Lets discuss my submissions with objective eyes openned. If you dont agree with what Im saying at least credit me for being honest to myself. Kenaura Appolus uaMungunda
