The whole fight serves no purpose because it is not geared towards achieving any goal,&#8221; Mutjavikua said.<\/p>\n<p>The governor was quick to point out that he has &#8216;real things&#8217; to do, than spend his energy on a mediation that is not likely to yield any results.<\/p>\n<p>Mutjavikua rubbished reports that !Naruseb had approached him to mediate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was never approached by !Naruseb. What is sad is the fact that Kaaronda does not seem to be interested in resolving the matter,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Approached for comment yesterday, !Naruseb vehemently denied any knowledge of any mediation efforts being made between him and Kaaronda.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not privy to any attempts being made in this regard,&#8221; he said, further refusing to answer the question of whether or not he would welcome any mediation efforts.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>View post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106160848.html\" title=\"Kaaronda, Naruseb Mediation Bid Fails\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kaaronda, Naruseb Mediation Bid Fails<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Toivo Ndjebela 15 June 2011 Windhoek \u2014 Erongo Regional Governor Cleophas Mutjavikua says he does not have the energy nor the time to mediate between unionist Evilastus Kaaronda and Lands and Resettlement Minister Alpheus !Naruseb if the pair is not committed to reconciliation.
