Swapo Party presidential candidate Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah says she is ready to lead Namibia and continue the work where her predecessors left off.

Nandi-Ndaitwah remarked this during a Swapo Party rally held at Outapi in the Omusati Region.

People of all ages flocked to the Olufuko Centre in Outapi to hear what the Swapo presidential candidate had to offer.

Nandi-Ndaitwah assured the gathering that she is ready to deliver as she has served the government in different portfolios.

"And for me, whenever I am given a task by the Namibian people through the Swapo Party, at no point have I failed that task. Take the Minister of Women and Child Welfare portfolio. My task was to sensitise Namibians to accept that both men and women have an equal responsibility in the development of this country."

She reminded the gathering that Omusati is the base and political home of Swapo, and therefore supporters should vote wisely.

Nandi-Ndaitwah emphasised the Swapo Party's commitment to enhancing access to quality education for everyone.

"We are going to increase our allocation to student support. What you must know if you are analysing deeply is that education in Namibia is basically free because the students at university—many of them—their funding comes from the government. The institution itself gets money from the government, and the work we are putting in our manifesto means what we are saying."

Swapo Party Secretary General Sophia Shaningwa expressed confidence in Nandi-Ndaitwah becoming Namibia's first female president.
