Omalaeti O'Swapo was the only album released by the Namibian political kwaito group Omalaeti O'Swapo (meaning: Swapo juniors).

The group included four musicians – Pablo, The Dogg, Gazza and Elvo – who were among the most popular musicians in Namibia at the time of the group's formation. However, the group was actually formed by the SWAPO party. Elvo handled the production duties, and John Walenga handled management and promotion under the supervision of SWAPO.

The album sold well, especially among SWAPO veterans and supporters, but was not critically successful due to its political influence. After the release of the album, each member went back to their respective solo careers, rarely speaking about Omalaeti O'Swapo.
