President Nangolo Mbumba has expressed his condolences to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and the people of South Africa following the death of Tito Mboweni.

Mboweni, South Africa's first black Reserve Bank Governor post-1994, passed away on Saturday after a brief illness.

Development challenges such as a lack of adequate schools, water infrastructure, roads, and housing, as well as the impact of drought, were highlighted as major concerns that need attention in the Kunene Region. 

President Mbumba says King Phillipe's visit will present Namibia and Belgium with an excellent opportunity to deepen the strong bonds of friendship and growing bilateral relations the two countries enjoy.

The Okandjoze Chiefs Assembly on Genocide has petitioned President Nangolo Mbumba to consider convening a National Consultative Conference to discuss the way forward for restorative justice.

Another subject is the possible enactment as an Act of Parliament, the Namibian Genocide.

President Nangolo Mbumba has once again hailed the democratic processes observed in Senegal as he congratulated President Bassirou Diomaye Faye on his election victory.

Faye emerged victorious in the first round of voting, garnering more than 54 percent of votes, and was sworn in this week.

Namibians have been encouraged to recommit to the values of compassion, sacrifice, and care for one another as they collectively build a peaceful, safe, and prosperous Namibian house.

President Nangolo Mbumba extended these words of encouragement in a statement, on the occasion of the Easter weekend.
