Liberation icon. Father of the Nation. A stalwart. A principled, steadfast, and decisive leader, even under the most intense pressure. 

That is how many people affectionately remember Sam Shafishuna Nujoma.

Born 95 years ago, on May 12, 1929, in the humble surroundings of the Etunda Village near Okahao in the Omusati Region, Nujoma would grow up to become the first African liberation movement leader to address the UN Security Council in 1971. 

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Bank Windhoek has issued a statement aimed at clearing up mounting confusion around the current fraud and theft case involving a former employee at its Opuwo Branch.

Bank Windhoek Managing Director Baronice Hans says they have taken note of the increasing misinterpretation of facts surrounding the incident that happened on January 13, leading to confusion regarding the amounts involved. 

Hans states that there was an initial attempted theft of N$200 million by the suspect, Nico Rebebe.
