The Democratic Co-operative Party (DEMKOP), was a small local political party in Ovamboland, Namibia led by Johannes Nangutuuala. The party opposed South African occupation of South-West Africa and joined the SWAPO Youth League at rallies.^[1] Nangutuuala was publicly flogged for his political activism.^[2] Established in 1973 it was active only for a short while; by 1975 its activities had ceded, and its leader Nangutuuala had taken up work with the South African administration in Ovamboland.^[3]
