Politics
The first councillor was Fani Francis Sizimbo, a Democratic Turnhalle Alliance member, who was in office from 1992 to 1998. He was succeeded by Lichaba John Ndubano in 1998. Ndubano, a SWAPO member, managed to move the SWAPO office from Linyanti to Sangwali. He did not support secessionism, and as a result was not liked in secessionist dominated areas.
In 2004 Ndubano was voted out by Dorothy Kabula. The current councillor of Linyanti is Cletius Sipapela.

Famous quotes containing the word politics:
“When feminism does not explicitly oppose racism, and when antiracism does not incorporate opposition to patriarchy, race and gender politics often end up being antagonistic to each other and both interests lose.”
—Kimberly Crenshaw (b. 1959)
“While you’re playing cards with a regular guy or having a bite to eat with him, he seems a peaceable, good-humoured and not entirely dense person. But just begin a conversation with him about something inedible, politics or science, for instance, and he ends up in a deadend or starts in on such an obtuse and base philosophy that you can only wave your hand and leave.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“I believe you to be a brave and a skillful soldier, which, of course, I like. I also believe you do not mix politics with your profession, in which you are right.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
