President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah was sworn in as Namibia's first female President this morning. 

Right from the onset, she took a stand to forge the nation forward, receiving a standing ovation in recognition of the women leaders who have paved the way.

The Speaker of the Northern Cape Provincial Legislature in South Africa, Newrene Klaaste, paid a courtesy visit to the Chairperson of the National Council, Lukas Muha.

The visit's goal was to learn from Namibia's Parliament and compare notes on procedures.
