President Hage Geingob has conferred a state funeral on the late liberation struggle stalwart, Hilde Kapitaholo Amunyela.

Amunyela died on the 25th of January, aged 89.

President Geingob in his message of condolence said that Amunyela will be remembered for her immense contribution to the liberation struggle of Namibia and her resistance to the apartheid regime.

Amunyela's voluntary contribution to the fight for freedom, Geingob says, subjected her to inhumane treatment by apartheid forces but she remained firm to liberate her motherland.
