Family, friends, and members of St. John Faith Mission Church gathered to celebrate the first anniversary of the passing of the late Archbishop Petrus Tjijombo in Windhoek. 

The commemoration was a joyous one, supported by brass band performances and choirs from various churches. 

The late Tjijombo died on June 16, 2023, at his residence in Katutura.

Those in attendance described the late as a God-fearing man of all seasons, brave, principled, and good at inspiring people in many aspects of their lives—a father figure in society.

The late was also a war veteran who made a significant contribution by showing unwavering support for the country's independence from colonial oppressors.

The government had accorded Archbishop Tjiombo an official funeral due to his contribution, and he was buried on August 6, 2023, at his homestead in Otjiuaneho, Otjinene, in the Omaheke Region.
