He is the co-founder and leader of the Affirmative Repositioning movement, a movement setup by radical youth activists of the SWAPO Party Youth League. Early life and educationAmupanda was born in northern Namibia in Omaalala in 1987. He was raised by his grandmother Theopolina Adolf whom he used to help sell merchandise as a child.[1] From 2005 Amupanda studied at the University of Namibia (UNAM) where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Political Science, and from 2008 served as the President of the Students' Council where he gained popularity during his tenure.[2] In 2010 he continued his studies at Stellenbosch University where he graduated with BA Honours in Political Science (2010) and MA in Political Science (2012). He also holds a BA Honors in History from University of South Africa.[3] While at Stellenbosch he founded the Stellenbosch Political Science Students Association (SPOSSA) and a served as Political Education Officer and later Deputy Secretary of the South African Students Congress.{{cn|date=December 2017}} He dedicated his masters degree to the children of Namibia especially those who went to school without shoes. He is currently defending his Philosophy degree (PhD). Amupanda was one of the few radical youths in Namibia and is very outspoken on youth matters.[4][5]. He scooped the Windhoek Observer 2015 award of Newsmaker of the year in the Politics category where he was competing with, amongst others President Hage Geingob and went to get the Overall Newsmaker award for the year 2015.{{cn|date=December 2017}} In 2015 Amupanda started lecturing political science at his alma mater UNAM. A year later, he was appointed Deputy Dean of his faculty, the youngest at the institution. Joseph Kalimbwe who served as president of the university student union in 2017, was one of his students.[6] Affirmative RepositioningAmupanda holds political admiration for Burkina Faso's Thomas Sankara, Zimbabwe's former president Robert Mugabe, South Africa's Steve Biko, Robert Sobukwe and Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters.[7] In November 2014, Amupanda, Dimbulukeni Nauyoma and George Kambala, all of the SWAPO Youth League, occupied land in the affluent Klein Windhoek suburb as a means to demand land in the city, and in response to reports of corruption by the Windhoek municipality.[8] They named their action Erf 2014 to coincide with the year of action.[9][10] This move was seen by SWAPO as an illegal grab of municipal land, and all three activists were expelled. Amupanda had shortly before resigned from his position as spokesperson for the SWAPO Party Youth League. Subsequently Amupanda, Nauyoma and Kambala formed the Affirmative Repositioning (AR) movement. The movement mobilised thousands of young people who turned up at the City of Windhoek's head office in Windhoek and submitted over 14,000 land application forms.[11][12] He successfully challenged his expulsion from the party in court and was reinstated as a party member in May 2016.[13] {{Quote box|width=25em|align=right|quote='As you are aware, attempts are being made to [...] reduce me into a jacket, a consequence and extension of other people's opinion. To reduce me into a silent zombie with no opinion but to clap hands and sing songs. It is being made clear that I must begin to look away even on matters of inconsistency. It is being made clear that I must appear indifferent even when those we represent are desperately looking for someone to stand up for them. This, comrade secretary, I cannot allow.'|source=— Job Amupanda, 2014 (extract from resignation letter addressed to SPYL SG Elijah Ngurare).[14] }}References1. ^[https://www.namibiansun.com/news/job-amupanda-kukus-little-boy-who-was-destined-to-lead Job Amupanda: Kuku’s little boy who was destined to lead] Namibian Sun, 29 July 2015 2. ^{{Cite news|title=Unam SRC on 'warpath'|last=Isaacs|first=Denver|newspaper=The Namibian|date=27 May 2009|page=1|url=http://www.namibian.com.na/indexx.php?archive_id=53825&page_type=archive_story_detail&page=3015}} 3. ^{{Cite news|title=Job Amupanda obtains Masters in Political Science|newspaper=Namibia Economist|date=14 December 2012|url=http://www.economist.com.na/headlines/2369-job-amupanda-obtains-masters-in-political-science}} 4. ^{{Citation|last=Job Shipululo Amupanda|title=Job Shipululo Amupanda - on One on One.mov|date=2013-01-20|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlPpk8oifQg|accessdate=2017-09-08}} 5. ^{{Cite news|title= Wrangle Over Geingob - Prime Minister Says No One Must Feel Left Out|last=Haufiku|first=Mathias|newspaper=New Era|publisher=allafrica.com|date=17 July 2014|url=http://allafrica.com/stories/201407171003.html}} 6. ^{{Cite news | url=https://www.namibiansun.com/news/job-lands-top-job | title=Job lands top job | newspaper=Namibian Sun | date=22 January 2016}} 7. ^{{Cite news|title= Factional fights rile President|last=Machivenyika|first=Farirai |newspaper=The Herald|date=9 August 2014|url=http://www.herald.co.zw/factional-fights-rile-president/}} 8. ^https://www.iol.co.za/news/africa/namibian-youth-plans-more-land-grabs-1806559 | Namibian youth plans more land grabs | IOL News 9. ^https://www.newera.com.na/2015/03/26/affirmative-repositioning-grab-unoccupied-land | Affirmative Repositioning could grab unoccupied land | New Era Newspaper Namibia 10. ^{{Cite news | title=Affirmative Repositioning: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | last=Kamwanyah | first=Ndumba J | newspaper=The Namibian | date=26 November 2015 | page=26 | url=https://www.namibian.com.na/index.php?page=archive-read&id=144771}} 11. ^{{cite news|title=14 000 submit land applications|last1=Tjihenua|first1=Theresia|last2=Haidula|first2=Tuyeimo|newspaper=The Namibian|date=24 November 2014|url=http://www.namibian.com.na/indexx.php?archive_id=130889}} 12. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.namibian.com.na/indexx.php?id=20168&page_type=story_detail&category_id=1 | title=Swapo suspends Amupanda | publisher=The Namibian | accessdate=15 November 2014}} 13. ^{{Cite news|title= Swapo welcomes back expelled quartet|last= Muraranganda|first= Elvis|newspaper=New Era|date=16 May 2016|url=https://www.newera.com.na/2016/05/12/swapo-welcomes-expelled-quartet/}} 14. ^http://www.namibian.com.na/indexx.php?id=20160&page_type=story_detail External links
