Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila has emphasised the importance of unity among Namibians, stating that it is the key to achieving prosperity for all.

She made these remarks during the 127th commemoration of the Battle of Otjiunda.

The Premier also took the opportunity to honour the late chief of the Ovambanderu, Kahimumua Nguvaua, describing him as a courageous and fearless leader.

The Ovambanderu community gathered in Okahandja to remember the aggressive and colonial land appropriation policies carried out by imperial German authorities during the late 1800s.

During the commemoration event, commonly referred to as the Green Flag Celebrations, Vice President Nangolo Mbumba acknowledged the late chief of the Ovambanderu, Kahimemua Nguvauva, as one of Namibia's revered heroes.

Nguvauva paid the highest sacrifice as he was executed on June 12, 1896.
