President Nangolo Mbumba has assured his fellow SADC leaders that he will continue from where his predecessor, Dr. Hage Geingob, left off by remaining committed to the goals and principles of the regional organisation and the aspirations of SADC citizens.
President Nangolo Mbumba says today the SADC region can look back to the past 32 years with pride and a sense of achievement.
President Nangolo Mbumba is expected to emphasise the primacy of peace and stability in the SADC region during his maiden address at the 44th ordinary summit of the regional bloc.
The summit is scheduled to take place from the 16th–17th of August in the Zimbabwean capital, Harare.

The death of Dr. Geingob shook Namibia monumentally, causing the nation to unite in grief.
President Nangolo Mbumba expressed gratitude to former presidents, leaders of the Swapo Party, and Namibians at large for the trust and confidence they have vested in him during his current and previous portfolios.
