Editing SWAPO (section)

== Finances and business interests ==
Although SWAPO receives finances from government for its operations, the party also holds extensive business interests. Through Kalahari Holdings, it entered into [[joint venture]]s with several companies, most prominently the Namibian branch of [[MultiChoice]], a private satellite TV provider, of which it owns 51%. Kalahari Holdings has further joint ventures with Radio Energy, [[Africa Online]], and businesses in the tourism, farming, security services and health insurance sectors. It owns Namib Contract Haulage, Namprint, Kudu Investments and the Ndilimani Cultural Troupe.<ref name=cow>{{Cite news |title=Govt is Swapo's cash cow |last=Immanuel |first=Shinovene |newspaper=[[The Namibian]] |date=29 November 2017 |page=1 |url=https://www.namibian.com.na/62071/read/Govt-is-Swapos-cash-cow |access-date=29 November 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171129100826/https://www.namibian.com.na/62071/read/Govt-is-Swapos-cash-cow |archive-date=29 November 2017 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |title=The South African media's (re) colonisation of Namibia |last=Tyson |first=Robin |journal=Global Media Journal: African Edition |date=January 2008 |volume=2 |issue=1 |pages=66–79 |doi=10.5789/2-1-35 |url=https://journals.co.za/doi/pdf/10.10520/AJA20732740_24|doi-access=free }}</ref>
