Namibia leader reshuffles cabinet

afrol News, 9 April - Nambia's all-powerful Safety and Security Minister, Peter Tsheehama, was among the casualties of President Hifikepunge Pohamba's cabinet reshuffle on Tuesday.

Tsheehama, a former freedom fighter, was replaced by Nickey Iyambo who had previously held Ministeries of Agriculture, Water and Forestry. The government has not advanced any reason for Mr Tsheehama's sacking, but many people linked it to his deteriorating health situation.

Surprisingly, President Pohamba appointed Namibia's first Prime Minister as Minister of
Trade and Industry. Hage Gingob became the Vice President of the ruling SWAPO in December 2007.

He also appointed the head of Namibia Planning Commission, Helmut Angula, as Minister of
Works and Transport.

The reshuffle also saw the transfer of Jerry Ekandjo, the former Lands and Agriculture

Minister to the Ministry of Regional, Local Government, Housing and Rural Development. His successor, John Pandeni, died in a car crash few weeks back.
