Mugabe, Nujoma are "irresponsible" - opposition

    JOHANNESBURG

    Congress of Democrats leader Ben Ulenga on Wednesday condemned Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's recent Africa Day in Namibia statement calling for black Namibians to grab land if white farmers are unwilling to sell some of it to the majority landless blacks.

    Briefing the media, he said that Mugabe was attempting to "sow chaos" in Namibia, which is the "order of the day" in Zimbabwe, and that it was "totally irresponsible and unacceptable".

    He said that Namibia only needed a clear land and agrarian programme to solve the land issue, not to resort to chaos and
    anarchy which will have a negative impact on the country's economy. He warned that the land question should not be used as a cheap political game.
