The void left by the late Founding President is deeply felt across the country, as mourners, ministries, and political parties continue to visit his residence to offer their sympathies and sign the book of condolences.

His visionary leadership, particularly his focus on youth empowerment and economic development, has been widely praised.

Among those honouring the late Founding President's legacy was a delegation from the Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade.

They reflected on him not only as the architect of Namibia's political independence but also as a champion of economic self-reliance.

His efforts, the ministry says, laid the foundation for a vibrant business environment that continues to shape the country's economy.

Speaking on behalf of the ministry, Executive Director Sikongo Haihambo highlighted how Dr. Sam Nujoma's leadership played a crucial role in establishing and developing key economic sectors such as agriculture, mining, manufacturing, trade, and tourism.

These sectors were prioritised as pillars of growth, setting the stage for long-term economic stability and transitioning Namibia from an economy traditionally dominated by external interests to one driven by Namibians themselves.

The ministry also emphasised Nujoma's belief that a nation's success lies in the hands of its people as he worked tirelessly to create policies promoting economic inclusivity, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises, farmers, and industrialists.

Representing the Swapo Party's district executive in Omaruru, Simon Jason also shared a personal account of the pivotal role the late president played in his life.

As a young volunteer on various projects initiated by Nujoma, Jason was inspired to become a visionary leader with ambitious goals.

He expressed that the loss of the Founding President would be profoundly felt by many.
