Namibia's High Commissioner to Tanzania, Lebbius Tobias, says the diplomatic mission is working towards the establishment of a library at Kongwa in memory of the late Founding President Sam Nujoma.

Kongwa is a town in Tanzania's Dodoma region where the late Nujoma and other Namibian leaders stayed during the liberation struggle.

Tobias, during an interview with Tanzanian Broadcasting Corporation (TBC), revealed that the plan is to use the three specific blocks that housed freedom fighters to set up the library.

"There is a specific room where our Founding President, Sam Nujoma, has lived, and we have decided to ask the authorities at Kongwa so that this room can be named after our Founding Father, Comrade Nujoma. I have been in communication since 2021 with his office, and he himself, Founding Father, had accepted the request that we wanted this room to be named after him. He gave us a reply to say that he was in agreement that it should be done exactly as we wish to have it done. Our aim was to gather important information about the liberation struggle, how he has been living here, and what he has been doing in terms of preparing other fighters to go back to liberate the country'', said Tobias.

High Commissioner Tobias also extended condolences to the Nujoma family and Namibians at large and underscored the legacy of unity left by the late Founding President.

''Our Founding President, comrade Sam Nujoma, was always telling us that we must unite, and it is indeed true that we have heeded this call. Whether we belong to this or that tribe or political party, what should come first is that we are Namibians, and we should focus on building our country'', he said.

The High Commission in Dar es Salaam has since opened the Book of Condolence in honour of the Founding President, Nujoma.
