The Untold Story of Martin Lukato’s 21-Year Political Struggle | Africa Speaks

Описание: Against all odds, Martin Lukato went from walking dusty village roads in Namibia to winning a seat in Parliament.

In this episode of Africa Speaks, we sit down with Martin Lukato — grassroots leader and founder of the National Democratic Party (NDP) — to unpack his incredible 21-year journey of political struggle, resilience, and hope for Namibia's future.

Raised in Anda village in the Zambezi region, Lukato's life was shaped by the harsh realities of apartheid and political activism. After leaving the Namibian police force in 2002, he started what many believed was an impossible political movement.

With no major funding, no powerful backers — just sheer determination — Lukato walked from village to village using his "guerrilla campaign strategy" to connect with the forgotten people of Namibia.

In 2024, he defied the odds and secured a historic seat in Parliament.
