The Zambezi Region has joined the nation in mourning the passing of Namibia's second former First Lady, Penehupifo Pohamba, with the regional governor describing her as one who served others with an uncompromising passion.

Former First Lady Penehupifo Pohamba has been remembered for her humanitarian work, Pan-African commitment and compassion for vulnerable communities during a state memorial service at Parliament Gardens on Saturday.

The Organisation for the Empowerment of Widows/Widowers and Orphans of HIV/AIDS in Namibia (OEWONA) handed over bedding, toys, and clothing, among other things, to orphans and vulnerable members of society in the Omusati, Ohangwena, and Kavango West regions.
