Tjeripo Musutua
Bachelor of Public Administration (BPAN), TUCSIN and University of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia. His main interests are in the field of power relations and local networks. One of his main tasks is to provide rough transcripts of the meetings and to collect data on the above mentioned issues.
