BCP mourns Kavindama

Joseph Kavindama died at the Gumare Primary Hospital on the morning of 21 June after a short illness.

Kavindama became a Member of Parliament in 1984 and represented the Okavango constituency until 2004. Over the 20 years, he steadfastly defended the interests of his constituents. At the time when he became a Member of Parliament in 1984, the constituency was largely regarded as a wildlife management area with little emphasis on the development of the basic infrastructure for the area. It was through his tireless campaign that government introduced policy reforms to ensure that the people of Okavango benefit from the tourism sector and that roads, schools and health facilities were developed. Okavango has now become a better constituency for its human inhabitants because of the efforts of Comrade Kavindama.
