Alleged assassination plot
In February 2010 at a campaign rally in Okahandja, Kamburona announced that a plot to assassinate opposition leaders existed. Opposition leaders were allegedly targeted because of the contested 2009 general election, though they had not filed a formal police complaint prior to the announcement. The assassination plot was allegedly to place poisonous powder on the clothes and car door handles of opposition leaders.[5]
