LPM withdraws Keetmanshoop mayor Melody Swartbooi
The Landless People's Movement has withdrawn Keetmanshoop mayor Melody Swartbooi from her position and revoked her council representation with immediate effect, six months after her election in December 2025. The party cited internal processes and strategic redeployment of talent but provided no specific reasons for the removal.
The LPM's sudden withdrawal of a recently elected mayor without specific explanation raises questions about party discipline and local governance stability.
